Lightning cables, as in the cables that charged proprietary Apple charging ports, ran a stripped-down version of iOS. Ran. Software. On a tiny chip. Someone got DOOM running on a Lightning-to-HDMI cable. A MacBook was used to flash the code to the cable, and a monitor was used at the other end to display the output, but apparently the game itself was running on the cable alone.
Literally the first sentence: “Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have shown that the sensors in high-resolution optical computer mice can detect tiny desk vibrations and translate them into speech.”
The poll rate of mice has become good enough that miniscule movements can be detected and turned back into sound, there aren’t any secret chips inside of the mouse to make that possible.

A mouse is much bigger.
Chips can be a lot smaller than people think.
This is some Tumblr level reading comprehension.
