Yay: I got an ESP32-cam streaming video over Wi-Fi!
Boo: Immediately after that, I connected the power in reverse when trying to put the board somewhere else and let out the stinky magic smoke

I have an idea for a short story where somebody receives a machine learning model ~from the stars~. In order to unlock the ~spectacular alien knowledge~ encoded within, they have to compose clever queries against the model. They keep getting "lost" episodes of 80s TV shows.
