GRANT BRICKMAN: The Arduino UNO Q gets a ten-inch touchscreen it can simply plug into. Ada has the details.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: For viewers just joining: Waveshare has made a 10.1-inch touch display for the Arduino UNO Q, and it plugs straight in.
GRANT BRICKMAN: A big screen for a little board. Ada, does the board know it is being upstaged?
ADA: So the UNO Q sends its display signal out through two 60-pin headers, JMEDIA and JMISC. Normally you need the Arduino UNO Media Carrier for those.
ADA: This display builds those headers right in. No adapter board, no special wiring. You just insert the UNO Q. Mind the orientation and the alignment.
ADA: That's file footage of an UNO Q on its carrier. Now picture the carrier gone and the board sitting right on the back of a screen.
ADA: It also has two MIPI CSI camera connectors, two speakers, two audio jacks and one RGB LED. Cameras and sound, all on one board.
ADA: Software side, enable carrier board support in Arduino App Lab. The documentation site has the tips. And there's one catch: it only works with the UNO Q.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Waveshare says the VENTUNO Q is not supported. The official carrier works with both. The display is $80.09 on AliExpress and $69.99 on Waveshare's own store.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Seventy dollars. For that I used to get a hotel minibar's worth of peanuts, and nobody gave me a touchscreen.

## 8-bit horror Tenebris Somnia mixes weird live-action horror with a retro 2D adventure to impressive and unsettling effect (Eurogamer)

GRETA FOOTNOTE: A pixel-art horror game with a live-action film welded into it. Vera has the big picture.
ODETTE: How we got here, in one tidy explainer.
DIRECTOR MARGE: Pencil it in: THE BACKGROUND.
GRANT BRICKMAN: The Big Picture. An 8-bit horror game called Tenebris Somnia. I assume that is a polite word for Monday.
DR. VERA VECTOR: According to the background note, Tenebris Somnia was co-created by Andrés Borghi and Tobías Rusjan with Saibot Studios, developed in Argentina.
DR. VERA VECTOR: It is published by New Blood Interactive. Released October 16, 2026 for Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X and S.
GRANT BRICKMAN: So it looks like a teletext page that learned to scream. Greta, who made it?
GRANT BRICKMAN: Should I play it with the lights on?
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The article doesn't say, Grant. The lights are your call.

## THE SWINGOMETER (PXL)
GRANT BRICKMAN: We count the programming languages on GitHub trending like a results programme.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Good evening. Fourteen slots on GitHub's trending page, and every one of them is a language waiting for its result. This is the Swingometer.
DR. VERA VECTOR: Counted from the page, not polled. TypeScript leads with five slots, thirty-six percent, down one slot against yesterday.
DR. VERA VECTOR: Shell has three slots, twenty-one percent, unchanged. Python has two, fourteen percent, also unchanged.
DR. VERA VECTOR: JavaScript and Swift each take one slot, seven percent, both new on the page. Rust also has one slot, seven percent, down one.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Two newcomers! A shock! A stunner! I'd bring the swingometer needle out, but it is only a bar chart.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Grant, TypeScript is down one slot and still in front. Nobody is conceding anything.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: That's the count. Shell is steady, Swift is new, and we go back to the desk.
