After ~10 years I’ve decided to slowly come out of stealth mode. This is just an experiment, and I may revert back at any moment. Oh, and don’t get your hopes too high.

It’s a feature our customers don’t use so we only installed the minimum required for compliance

Think Different.

As promised here’s a poorly shot, dimly lit, two take improvised teardown from the improvised teardown table better known as the hotel room side nightstand youtu.be/H45RXPNAkZo?is…

Anothe day, another IKEA, another suprise Very sneaky of them for hiding the GRILLPLATS in the wrong isle Of course I bought both. Teardown incoming!

Do I need another bluetooth speaker? Of course not! I have dozens! Did I buy it anyway? Well.. yes But it’s green!

Motor oil flavor

@ddalledo And speakers taking up the entire palmrest

Che cos'è un computer, se non una batteria con un paio di chip tutt'attorno?

@ElioRaineri It’s brand new so never updated. The collector in me wants to preserve it but they’re currently so cheap I may get another to actually use. Surprisingly there’s quite a community around them.

@0x9ff This is history! Does it still work? Are you planning on using it?

Failed to resist temptation - clearly chose the wrong color - now tempted to buy another color

How nice…

Picturing a classic. @TeamViewer getting free advertising in the middle of Milan

@ElioRaineri Absolutely. While gorgeous I think my favorite remains the Praxis 48 from 1964. Amongst the first to have a plastic outer chassis. They made the panels textured to hide potential defects in the extrusion process.

@0x9ff Incredible piece of design history! Well done!

Started the markets bright and early with a pretty decent score, a Valentine! Seller just arrived and was the first thing he pulled put of the car. Asking 50 but managed to grab it for 25. I know it’s overbudget but I’ve been looking for one for quite some time

Finally, took me a second look to notice the TECHNIKS branding

Just next door was a Beomaster 6000, asking 150 and had every possible cord cut, resisted the temptation

This is exactly the type of nerd stuff I open Twitter for

@eliteobsolete Was used to connect the front panel port on Xserve G5

incredibly rare 6 inch black variant of Apple's FireWire 400 cable

This is hands down to be the most beautifully designed vehicle interior that I’ve ever seen. Too bad it’s unlikely I could ever own it :(

Currently playing with expensive (yet smol) toys, shoutout to @Lenovo for lending us a unit!
