Hi, thank you, but I don't want to steal credit for PicoModem, which is a different project that passes modem AT commands over Wi-Fi https://github.com/mecparts/PicoWiFiModem I was…

I'm flattered. You asked very good questions. I'd be happy to de-mystify it with a longer conversation. Find me on LinkedIn: 白一百

Author here: I have wanted to make a wireless USB mouse and keyboard switch out of RPI Pico Ws for a long time. I would go a layer deeper than USB/IP, because I want to cache the U…

Author here: good point - I do hope the retro computing community enjoys this tool. It does remind me of the Espressif line if ESP8266 and ESP32 devices which have Wi-Fi devices wh…

Author here: thank you for this deep dive. I saw peaks of 5.9 Mbps, it might be possible to increase throughput by allocating more memory. The link between the rp2040 and Infineon …

Author here: Thank you, this is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about my work. I achieved two goals today: a front page post on hackernews and for being recognized fo…

Author here: You're welcome!

Author here: I will consider writing a blog about ir, but it will require a lot of work on my part, because as I mentioned, this was a digression/side quest from the main task of h…

Author here: Thank you! It's a nice thought that something I made will become a trusted tool for IT professionals. Now I need to make a nice 3D-printed case. I admit, I almost coul…

Author here: this is actually a "side quest" which I alluded to in the README.adoc and another comment. I've had a few Spotify Car Things (SuperBird) sitting on my desk that I have…

No, it's not really easier to buy a Wi-Fi dongle. My target device is the Spotify Car Thing and SuperBird doesn't have Wi-Fi components. My Claude Code Pro subscription was idle, s…

Exactly, bit banging an 8-bit bus isn't that different from pushing the data out of the USB port. It would be great to try an LLM trained on pre-1900 documents and ask it if powere…

It's one of the neat features of the AsciiDoc language. The user is able to change captions mid document, in this case :figure-caption:. AsciiDoc and Antora are things I've investe…

pico-usb-wifi is firmware for the Raspberry Pi Pico W that turns it into a driverless USB Wi-Fi adapter, enumerating as a USB CDC-NCM device.

Embrace cheap hardware. CachyOS on a 200-300 USD Intel n100 tablet with a wired or wireless keyboard of your choice is my go-to recommendation these days. I have one connected to a…

Yes, a neat follow-up would be to clone the copy protection device with a cheap microcontroller. A lot of these devices were filled with epoxy, but it would be funny to find out th…

Neat. A personal tone trainer. Seriously, shut up and take my money now. Of course, it needs a vocabulary trainer, and zhuyin/traditional character support.

My biggest source of paranoia is my open home assistant port, while it requires a strong password and is TLS-encrypted, I'm sure that one day someone will find an exploit letting t…

What a story. This brings back memories and ties directly into my life. In fall of 1999, I built my first PC with an Abit BE6 to use with an Intel Pentium 3 'Coppermine' 500 MHz. I…

The website https://nissan.com shows how to avoid this outcome.

They were listed in the numerous other replies, and in the initial blog post. Both have been dismissed as undesirable/unworkable. What's your point. I'm not interested in a discuss…

The two alternative solutions posed so far are 1) drop the ai bounty program 2) charge for submissions. Present an alternative.

We are witnessing a new eternal summer and the only way to stem to tide is to increase the amount of required personal identifying information to register, and then publicly shame …
