What's Your Primary Operating System for Development on Your PC/Laptop?
If (like me) you're stuck on Windows, WSL2 is really awesome. It's super fast, and requires very minimal setup to get it up and running. The VS Code integration is superb. You can even connect USB devices to WSL now, which makes it very suitable for embedded. You get nearly the performance of a full OS install, unlike a typical VM. On my machine it's about 50% faster than Virtualbox.
It should be possible with usbipd-win, you can then attach usb devices to hyper-v/WSL2 VMs. edit: there's even a vscode plugin for it

Planespotting with Rust: using nom to parse ADS-B messages
ADS-B is a protocol used by aircrafts to broadcast their position, altitude, speed, and other information. Nowadays, the majority of aircrafts broadcast ADS-B messages constantly. Anyone with the right equipment can listen to these messages. You can buy a relatively cheap USB dongle with an antenna on Amazon and install drivers for it on Linux. In my case I used usbipd-win to mount the USB device inside Ubuntu running in WSL2. Then I installed the Linux drivers and dump1090, a program that makes use of these drivers and then outputs ADS-B messages in a format that is easy to parse. While you can use dump1090 to display a neat table full of information about aircrafts, I wanted to use its raw output capabilities to parse ADS-B messages myself. It starts a simple TCP server that outputs raw ADS-B messages wrapped in Mode-S Beast frames. I'm not sure what Beast means, but I found something that looks like its spec here.

Windows Terminal is now the default Windows 11 22H2 console
Though I see https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win may actually work properly as a full usb passthrough now for WSL2?

Use your Steam Deck as an expensive game controller
For server (e.g. machine that provides devices), https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win is a bit more mature - they grabbed the driver infrastructure from virtualbox to handle the issues with code signing.
