35C3 hacker conference starts today (27th December). Vita talk set for 29th
It is that time of year again. Not Tempmas (though it is being blamed for being a bit slow with news this year) but the Chaos Community Congress, aka C3, this year being number 35 so 35C3. C3 is a European hacker conference that in years past has given rise to all sorts of interesting talks. As far as consoles and such things go this year has the Vita talk the title mentions and mostly that (sadly no breakdowns of older devices this time, the Wii, 3ds, xbox and xbox 360, Wii U, PS3, PS4, Switch, Amiga 500, gameboy and more having all had spots in years past), however there is bound to be plenty of other things the membership of this site will find of interest. As ever these are great places to learn some really in depth hacking skills, and some broad overviews of things from the perspectives of people that hack them. Of interest there is likely to be those talks on electronics protocols, programmable devices and rapid/low volume manufacture, for which this year (and previous years) have much to discuss, as well as those talks on the state of the world at large.
Do note it is a German group and run in Germany so there are several talks in German, however there are many more in English. Speaking of which the times listed on the schedule (aka fahrplan) are those for Germany so adjust accordingly.

Link to schedule/fahrplan detailing a list of speakers and talks, on the same link you will find a room and time option as well.
Finished events appear in short order on CCC's youtube channel, though for older years you might have to look at others (the links above being a good start). Things are streamed live via the streams page, and said streams can be downloaded if youtube (or downloading from it) is not your style.
What talks are you looking forward to this year? Are any of the returning speakers (or speakers you might have see at defcon, black hat and so forth) doing anything intriguing for you? Is anybody there in person this year?
