I used NotebookLM to wrangle a month of research—here’s where it fell apart
Jul 3, 2026 | Guides
I have a habit of starting technical projects by hoarding every scrap of documentation I can find before I write a single line of code or flip a single switch. I hate the idea of breaking anything, so I am very careful beforehand. That works fine until the pile gets big enough that finding anything again turns into its own project. Using a PS4 as a spare CPU/GPU has become my white whale, but it is so much easier since I spent a month feeding my research material to NotebookLM, which made my life easier.
