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 โ‚ฌ200. 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 :(

Interesting question.

  1. Top of the line electric motorcycle. I think this would be the best from Zero Motorcycles, but I'd have to research (SR/S, I think).
  2. A metal 3D printer. I love the abilities of 3D printing, but I'm not very excited about putting a bunch more plastic in the world. Also, plastic is not very strong and I assume metal prints could be very strong and therefore much more useful. Print a new motor for my motorcycle? Yes, please! And so much more: my own hardware store (screws, etc.), furniture, jewelry, silverware, cooking utensils, grill parts, etc.
  3. Top of the line PC. $5k PC. It would be interesting to see what the bleeding edge looks like. Be nice to keep this because it would probably age well.

From what I can tell, Zero does that shit that Tesla and BMW do, where you have to pay to unlock features that your car/motorcycle already has. Which is a shame, because the idea of owning an electric motorcycle, particularly a highway-capable one, intrigues me.

Tbh, the jump from upper mid tier to top of the line PC is present but not overwhelming.

  1. A custom gaming pc built by Digital Storm to replace my HP Omen laptop. I've done quite a bit of research. I looked at Digital Storm, AVA Direct, Maingear, Falcon Northwest, and System 76. For a while I was eyeing Maingear, then Falcon Northwest, but Digital Storm has most of the options that I'd want.

  2. An 85 inch 8k tv for enthusiast purposes.

  3. A three set bookcase for my room so that I can replace my old bookcase and to better store the books that I have and more.

  4. A Purple queen-sized mattress with an adjustable base to replace my old bed and twin-sized mattress and also my incline pillow.
