A few:

  1. The Unincorporated Man by Dani and Eytan Kollin. The story and parallels of society really slap.

  2. Lightning by Dean Koontz. Not exactly known for sci-fi per se, but this one checks lots of boxes including time travel.

  3. The Dosadi Experiment by Frank Herbert. A good non-Dune choice.

  4. Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey. A great space opera.

  5. Star Trek: Starfleet Corps of Engineers series. It's Trek with a different angle and adventure from the series leaders.

  6. Warm Bodies by author Isaac Marion. Probably controversial but i dig the way it did the zombie genre. Darker than the movie.

  7. The Sequence by Lucien Telford. A hidden gem really. Gene editing thriller sci-fi.

On my backlog:

  • The Last Policeman by Ben H. Winters
  • Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
  • Junkyard Pirate by Jamie McFarlane

Linked Source here. Sample 3 is a round teabag which is a distinct feature of Tetley tea. Although I'm sure other brands may use that design too.

The Patrick Stewart 1999 version for me. There's an AI upscale version floating around that truly amazing.

You need something in between to intercept the data and it just so happens that AAWireless works for that too while it's acting as a wireless bridge.

I have the AAWireless dongle for my car and one of the advanced options is to "remove tap restriction" to allow over 6 taps in succession. Bonus, you can convert wired AA to wireless AA.

if you get/have AAWireless dongle you can set it to only connect when it also connects to the radio Bluetooth.

If not You can get a toggle switch USB cable to make disconnecting easier.

Have not tried, but Sonoff has a usb switch that you can control remotely and could potentially use Google Home. https://sonoff.tech/product/diy-smart-switches/micro/

Microsoft's Wolverine for the TCP stack was not available until Windows 3.11. An argument could be made that these systems are defacto air-gapped as they cannot communicate with modern networking.

The good news is anyone can grab the GrapheneOS PDF viewer. https://github.com/GrapheneOS/PdfViewer Or from the Google Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.grapheneos.pdfviewer.play

I have that exact machine in my electronics "graveyard".

Peppermint OS was my GO-TO for speed and driver support out of the box. You can also stick in a 2GB SODIMM of ram. It will only recognize 1.5GB but still 50% more ram.
