    Vape-to-Web Server: Tiny MCU Runs HTTP on a Discarded E-Cig

    An engineer has turned a discarded disposable vape into a functioning web server — and the stunt is more than a neat hack: it’s a concise demonstration of how tiny, low-cost microcontrollers embedded in throwaway consumer goods can be repurposed to run real network stacks and serve pages, while...
