Today, very briefly, Tweakers.net leaked the WHY2025 badge: a Konsool/Tanmatsu remix with two ESP32s, a LORA module, screen, keyboard and sensors

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/24

The leak was short enough for Google to index the imagery and this text:

WHY2025 nam het zekere voor het onzekere door een ESP32-controller, een lora-chip en een kraakhelder scherm in zijn badge te verwerken. Tweakers …

Edit 20250727: two days later the page got reinstated without in their “Gathering of Tweakers” portion of the site a clarification why it was taken off-line for two days. It is still at the same URL, so I re-archived it: [Wayback/ArchiveBad] Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule (need to re-archive in Archive.is as their IP got blocked)

The page now is a nice 404: [Wayback/Archive] Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule

Not sure why the page got retracted, as the specs got released on LinkedIn a month ago at [Wayback/Archive] 🚀 Officially public launched: the WHY2025 Badge! | Jelmer Lopes Terto:

  • ESP32-P4 – dual-core AI/ML powerhouse, packaged as an M.2-2242 card.
  • ESP32-C6 – Wi-Fi 6, BLE 5.3, Thread & Matter for future-proof connectivity.
  • RA-01H LoRa module (SX1276) – up to +19 dBm TX, –140 dBm RX for kilometre-class mesh links.
  • 3.95″ 720 × 720 IPS display – all-view, ST7703 driver (MIPI-DSI).
  • Dual 18650 Li-ion cells + USB-C , hot-swappable.

Retraction reason: opportunity for the makers to comment, but published early bu accident, see [WaybackSave/ArchiveBad] Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule – Geachte redactie – GoT

And since it is a Konsool/Tanmatsu remix:

A longer description was quoted on Discord just in time before the link became a 404:

Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule

Als je hackersconferentie geen veel te overpowerd minicomputer als badge heeft, ben je dan wel een echte hackersconferentie? WHY2025 nam het zekere voor het onzekere door een ESP32-controller, een lora-chip en een kraakhelder scherm in zijn badge te verwerken. Tweakers kreeg een voorproefje van de badge, die in augustus tijdens de hackercon word…

Pics or it didn’t happen (:

Will add more after proper archival.
