I’ve got 3 on my list.

  1. BT-PAN Access Point - Kinda ridiculous, but I’d like to have one. I’ve also found a few BT-PAN-enabled dial-up modems, but I’d have no way to connect those up. Some of those could even be connected to USB printers for wireless printing. Not particularly useful anymore, I just find those devices interesting.
  2. Dot matrix printer - This one isn’t even as ridiculous. I really love that sound and how the text they print looks. Sadly, if I am looking for new ones, a basic 9-pin Epson dot matrix is around €200. But the ribbons are cheap as chips. In fact, often even cheaper. Just imagine casually handing out a document printed on dot matrix to someone nowdays.
  3. Nano pocket drone - Something like FQ777-124. Maybe a toy like that is a bit childish, but it still can be fun. In fact I already tried to order this one. From 4 different sellers, twice on AliExpress, twice on Amazon. I never got it :(

    it’s definitely harder than it may seem in videos. but I’ve seen people getting the hang of it in a few sessions in the sim. I’d say it you’re okay at flying in the simulator and close to actually buying a real done you could get FPV goggles and practice some more with them. it all depends on how determined you are too get into the hobby.

      Good point. Right now I’m mostly focused on reading a bunch this year and my car. But winter is coming and this car doesn’t do well on snow or ice.
