What is that for?

That website has some cool stuff. I work for a robot company, so super into that automation stuff

@CryptoQuan I like to buy random tech to play with. Helps me pad my resume with skills and understand how all technology works.

Knowing how all technology generally works helps me make better decisions in varying roles in IT, troubleshooting, development, circuitry, etc.

SO! My plan is to buy stuff, connect it to python/raspberry pi, and do random crap with it.

2. is probably breaking all sorts of regulatory stuff
