Booting from a vinyl record
Most PCs tend to boot from a primary media storage, be it a hard disk drive, or a solid-state drive, perhaps from a network, or – if all else fails – the USB stick or the boot DVD comes to the rescue… Fun, eh? Boring! Why don’t we try to boot from a record player for a change?

Unbricking a $2k bike with a $10 Raspberry Pi
A few years ago I splurged on an exercise bike. It’s a pretty expensive item imho, both in upfront and ongoing subscription costs.

Wireless Is a Trap
Over and over again, I’ve seen people fix some wireless-related problem and go “wow, I had no idea how much better this could be!" • Wireless protocols often silently operate in an extremely degraded state that makes them substantially worse than wired equivalents.
