Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Why it does and doesn’t matter if Google, Microsoft or Zoom certify your webcam
Yes! I use pi zero and a 3D printed case with the HQ camera and a decent lens. The field of view is exactly right for video calls.

Open source USB C icamera with Interchangeable C mount lens, MIPI Sensor
Also related: Take a Raspberry Pi Mini, a Raspberry Pi HQ camera, and install this firmware
https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam
and it turns your Pi into a USB webcam with a C mount lens.
- Good and affordable camera

„Let the dough rise in a warm place“ - I know where that is! Handwritten sourdough.gcode
The Pi Zero runs https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam and presents itself as a generic USB webcam to operating systems.

Linux-friendly (full browser playback support and control) IPTV camera without China "cloud" features or ActiveX requirements
I use showmewebcam for the usb-capability, but I think it's possible to have it wireless.

I made the Pi Zero Webcam from Jeff Geerling’s video 🙂.
Very nice! I'm also planning on testing it out with the showmewebcam software, which might make it even more customizable! https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam

Raspberry Pi Enters Microcontroller Game with $4 Pico
You want to take a look at buildroot-based approaches. They're not quite instant-on, but they're tolerable. https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam is a good example.

USB Gadget Boards?
With the composite kernel driver you can create as many virtual gadgets as you want from a single usb otg port. Lots of people have done it and documented extensively for the pi0. Here is my list (look at the composite gadget section): https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam/wiki/Further-Documentation

Why can’t you buy a good webcam?
> So there is a market gap between so-so webcams for $100-200 and a full-blown setup with a mirrorless camera, an external mic and lighting panels that will cost almost a grand or two, if you're so inclined.
Try our free software project that uses a Pi and its HQ sensor to make a USB webcam [1]. You'll have a wide range of lenses [2] and cases [3] that people cook up for their personal use.
Last time I commented here, there have been criticisms about the quality of the lens that the Pi foindation sell. We have discovered many other decent alternative lenses that help remedy the quality and distortion issue of the stock lenses. An example of a good guide is the commonlands lens guide [4].
The software is very actively developed and we have a pretty supportive community with good software engineering practices. Check it out, you might even like it!

Barcelona Supercomputing Center presents Sargantana: new open-source RISC-V chip
>Likely you couldn't even go back and make a fab that makes large volumes of 60nm-90nm node sizes at all, for any amount of money, because the equipment to do this (new) hasn't been made in 2 decades and no company is willing to invest the money to make new crappy old equipment.
I believe your argument assumes that there is a fixed cost to produce even 180nm or 350nm ICs that hasnt changed since the first one was produced.
We still need 300 years for a 300 year old tree, but 25 year old technology might now be relatively easy to build if we start from scratch.
What was high tech then might be relatively easy to solve now. One example might be https://github.com/circuitvalley/USB_C_Industrial_Camera_FPG... being open source instead of a multi year, multi million dollar project.
