   I have just found, on Amazon, a USB peripheral which is a gearshift for a manual transmission car

   Challenge: What is the funniest way you could utilize this peripheral in software

     @mcc When you download a large file, you have to start in first gear, and the download is slow. You have to smoothly progress through the gears to speed things up. If you don't shift smoothly your download will stall out, and you have to start over at the beginning. No other way is provided to download a file.

     @not2b @mcc this actually happened to me when I was building my gearshift keyboard: if I tried to upload new firmware, it would fail... Unless it was in neutral.
