349: We're Gonna Do Some Popcorn Science Here
About this episode
It's our first-ever solo Q&A episode, and Will takes on a backlog of awesome questions from the audience. Topics include Will's favorite way to make popcorn, under-volting for fun and profit, good books about the history of modern computing, the problem with Peltier/thermo-electric coolers, and what's going on with the Internet of Shit?
Content Warning: I discuss self-harm in the context of taking health advice from LLMs from 55-58 minutes.
