Not really a smart home thing, but I find this gadget amazing, and is like a Swiss army knife for those that need to always flash USB sticks, or convert ISO files to bootable USB Media

I spotted it on a YouTube Video (that wasn't about the product it self)

- Have an ISO File?

- Have a VMWare/VHD/HyperV File?

- Have an Image File?

etc etc  
Upto 4 devices can be emulated at once!

So cool!

I was watching a vid for an old PC build that didn't have flash boot support, no problem...  
He selected the ISO file on the device, and chose to emulate a CD drive with it
