woooo mate’s workplace was decommissioning a site and junking everything in a “everything must go” rip down and he earmarked me a friggin’ 50" hisense. Went over there to help him nab (and the whole rack cabinet he marked for himself)and discovered a box of Pine64 builds that were being tossed as ewaste. Builds, parts (like a dozen screens, motherboards, you name it) and a whole fuckin’ box of about a thousand USB-mounted chips I also grabbed for another mutual friend big in building home automation.
Just googled the usb chips and they’re fucking digispark attiny85 boards.
I have about a thousand of them. Not hyperbolic. He’s creaming his fucking pants rn.
(I also nabbed some routers for conversion to openWRT for the mesh I want to build, got enough terabyte drives to finish off my proxmox at zero cost…and also the TV turned out to be 55 inches. oh nooooooooo)
Scored a lot of technical nerd parts that not only mean I get to finish off a lot of projects without spending a penny, but so do several of my mates. Also I got a free gigantic television

I recognised many of these words
It’s nerd speak. Collected a lot of good shit from a mate.
You’re doing better than me. I only recognized the little joining words.

Congrats!
Are you an electrical engineer?
Sysadmin if I remember correctly.
