I still use an IrDA device on a regular (3-4x yearly) basis - ScubaPro Galileo Luna dive computers. What’s more - somehow this works on an M-series Mac using no additional paid software. UTM with an older Linux distribution and some tools I hacked together a decade ago to spit out UDDF and it’s just a matter of very precisely aiming the IrDA dongle and hoping I remembered all the other small things.
Part of me is horrified that I need to do this to get my dive profiles. Part of me also says that my dive computer has worked and helped to keep me alive for weeks underwater so far, not much reason to change it.

For a moment I thought you said "timing the IrDA dongle" and goodness is it a good thing you don't have to do that part yourself
Could someone revive the GigaIR protocol?
You can probably implement or use it with $1 worth of components connected to any modern SBC. It's a solution... what's the problem? Start there!
