Isn't that slow for WiFi?

I mean it's an interesting learning experience, but isn't that strictly worse than pretty much any WiFi dongle?

Yes, the guy clearly spent more of his time than it's worth - you can buy a wifi dongle for a few bucks on aliexpress.

But that's exactly the point of such experience. It's a challenge, and the guy/gal nailed it.

You can not buy wifi usb adapters that work with MacOS on MacBooks I believe. I could be wrong but I think none of them have driver support.

Well Claude nailed it, but they get credit for the idea.

		Yes, just yesterday I got codex to write me a home assistant plugin for reticulum lxmf. For the fun of it. It got things wrong, I got it to fix.

The Pico is USB 1.1, so the upper bound is 12 Mb/s.
