Listen "292: Winning the Hummingbird War"
Episode Synopsis
On this week's ep, we take inventory of upcoming tech projects we've been looking into, to evaluate our use cases and pick each other's brains about what's worth sinking the time and/or money into in the near future. For Brad, that's getting a proper travel router and GaN charger for easier networking on the road, jailbreaking his Kindle to try out that KOReader magic, and, uh, maybe someday setting up a local network time server. On Will's side, there's getting set up to take advantage of the Twitch 1440p beta, finding ways to utilize a USB-connected multi-foot pedal, and building an outdoor IP camera rig with the optics and shutter speed to properly document the ongoing hummingbird fracas outside his house. An episode as ambitious as it is speculative!Links for this episode:The Kindle Modding Wiki: https://kindlemodding.org/A pretty good basic explainer about Kindle jailbreaking and demoing KOReader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtk7ERwlIAk The style of travel router Brad's looking at (not sponsored!): https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-axt1800/
