Auto WiFi detection and hotspot creation in boot for RPI

Auto WiFi detection or wifi hostpot creation during boot for RPI

Note: These are rough notes and there may be some variance as versions of raspbian get updated but should be pretty reliable as a guide.

This gist provides some instructions and config in order to have your Raspberry PI automatically connect to a roamed network, however if it fails to discover an available network it will set itself up as a wireless access point for you to connect to.

A prospective employer invited me to do a HackerRank test. Here's my proposed alternative.

Well, that was unexpected. In the following, I’m trying to follow Jon Evans’ advice from “The Terrible Technical Interview”.

How to fix Apple Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (Windows 10)

The driver situation with Apple Bluetooth wireless keyboards and Windows 10 is horrible, even with the latest BootCamp drivers. Fortunately, a workaround is available, if you're patient.

Pair keyboard once

  1. Turn on the keyboard.
  2. Press and hold Command + w until the keyboard light begins blinking, indicating the keyboard is ready to pair.
  3. Use Windows Bluetooth settings to pair the keyboard, entering the same code (e.g. 123456 Enter) on both internal and external keyboards.

Pairing the keyboard is very trial and error. 9/10 times, Windows will complain that the keyboard is not available for pairing. Just keep trying.
