Chisel, Rathole, an SSH tunnel with port forwarding, a VPN with port forwarding.
Keywords are "self hosted tunnel" or "reverse proxy over VPN".

Run a VPS for like $5 a month, your local reverse-proxy tunnels out to the VPS, and your VPS forwards port 80/443 over the tunnel to your reverse-proxy.

Pretty much, yes.
Developers for the older consoles employed all sorts of hacks and used all sorts of undocumented features.
Emulators of N64 would develop the emulator for something like 80% of the features of 80% of the games, then put in specific workarounds for the oddities of each game.
Which is why some games are better on specific emulators.

Also, decompilation lead to a greater understanding of the various glitches. DK64 and Mario 64 speedruns benefitted massively from this.
And also fun hack/mods like randomisers and hardcore modes, massively extending the games playability.

But yeh, the things devs did back in the day is bonkers

Damn experts, what do they know?

I'd be careful with that if you don't properly notify them first.
They might decide to make your life hell by demanding the car back after you've given it away.

I really enjoy those "tech bros reinvent..." memes

Self driving teslas

Now they need to stop interfering with windows

Windows XP error "duhhn" sound.

Make voting accessible and more people vote?
No, that's crazy talk. Get out

A LiveUSB that has memory checking, storage checking, gpu checking along with stress testing of these would be amazing.
Building a new PC? Slap in the liveUSB, check all the components then stress test soak it to confirm its all good

I've heard rumours that Kitten Space Agency (the spiritual successor to Kerbal Space Program, considering KSP2 is dead on arrival) will support multiple monitors.
I know it has multiplayer baked in at every step of the development (even if it won't be available on release). So maybe I'm getting my wires crossed between multimonitor and features of the multiplayer that sound like they would be great for multi monitor (IE, someone plays as ground control)

Unless there is some new revolutionary tech, things like the ESP32 have no driving factor to become obsolete.
If you are relying on BT/WiFi/LoRa then there is a possibility of RF frequency regulations changing.

But it is already an overpowered device for the majority of its applications and it's cheap
