Add the cost of the rasberry pico, you'll have an easier time buying the wifi dongle. The project is cool thought to learn about networks, NAT, Proxys, ect...
- lithiumii 3mo agoexcept now we don't need to spend that $5
- bdavbdav 3mo agoIt’s nice that it doesn’t need the WiFi stack or host side configuration though. This would be great for headless machines.
- byb 3mo agoNo, 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, so it cost me nothing. Also, according to an article from Tom's Hardware from two years ago, four million Picos have already shipped, so I've unlocked this ability for let's say 500,000 devices. Finally, my day job is in the Wi-Fi industry... this wasn't a learning exercise.
- farfatched 3mo agoThe author's tone when they discuss the cost of the project is self-deprecating. They know it would have been simpler to just buy one. But also, the author has given the community a great gift, both directly (the blog post and the project!) and indirectly (the idea: what else can be implemented in similar ways).

- teaearlgraycold 3mo agoEh maybe a few tidbits. But the world gained a new WiFi adapter!
- Mashimo 3mo agoFinally hacker news on .. Hacker News. No need for it to be economical cheap.
