My husband does this. He says he wants something, adds it to a list somewhere, and eventually forgets why he wanted it.

Well, I got him one of his listed items for Christmas. It was this thing:

  • AiTrip EEPROM BIOS USB Programmer CH341A + SOIC8 Clip + 1.8V Adapter + SOIC8 Adapter for 24 25 Series Flash

I casually brought up a BIOS USB programmer, and he said he’s not sure what he’d use such a thing for.

He’s into programming, data engineering, and Linux. He has several old computers laying around as a sort of “homelab” thing. Any idea what he might have wanted that for? I worry he’s going to open his present and have no memory of why he originally wanted this thing. It would be nice if I could give him cool ideas in that moment—but I literally have no idea.

Can anyone help? What stuff does a BIOS USB programmer usually gets techy guys excited about?
