Hacking an IKEA TRÅDFRI lamp to run Doom

Full Vanilla Doom Engine Runs on the RF Module of an IKEA TRÅDFRI Lamp.
"Bork! Bork! Bork!"
Loads of asterisks on this one, but still pretty impressive (IMO). Also a highlight for me was the barest mention of YMODEM. {fluttery sigh}. I miss those days. Edit: replaced with an article about it (the original seems to have gone away)

Seems to have disappeared. Replaced with an article about it.

I remember using command-line Kermit a long time ago. It was also one of the file transfer protocols supported by ProComm, a full-screen MS-DOS communications and terminal emulator program I used a lot back in the day. As they say, good times :-D.

Indeed we are. In the late 1980's I worked for a defense contractor. We had a microVAX-II running VAX/VMS 3.something. Our terminals in the office generally ran at 9600 baud, except for yours truly. Since I was the system manager for the beastie, I solemnly decided that I needed to run at 19.2K. The machine had a 2400 baud modem connected to a phone line. I would call in over the weekend to work occasionally. We even had the "breakin evasion" feature enabled on the phone line. There was a password protecting the modem connection you had to enter before you got the login prompt. You had only three chances to enter the modem prompt correctly. After that it would continue to prompt you, but ignore what you entered even if you entered the correct password. At the time there were over 70 VAX/VMS systems in the area (Wright-Patterson Air Force Base), so there was a thriving hack community trying to break in.
