Quick, let me balance this out with another really old pen that looks like it has dazzle camouflage.

 Kitchen shears for spatchcocking a chicken. Worked great, would spatchcock again. Tasty roast chicken with crispy skin ready in under an hour.

I can buy a cable and buy beefier software for my laptop if I need to code anything and felt this was a nice in between for my needs. The Schwaben also has additional BMW modules over the standard Foxwell NT510 with BMW software out of the box.

I have reset other lights after doing maintenance. Schwaben BMW Scan Tool purchase link. Edit: I like this tool a lot and really happy to have a dedicated tool for this purpose and then some. Read the entire thread and you can check out the difference between this Schwaben by Foxwell and the Foxwell NT510 linked here. Post 60 shows the modules that come with the Schwaben and have to be purchased additionally if you buy the Foxwell NT510 and download the BMW specific software. It can register batteries of the same type but can not code a different type of battery, take note of that. Software is improving all the time, but there are more powerful options out there. That said, one trip to a dealership or a few trips to the indy shop can cost as much as this tool... not to mention the time savings of not having to leave your parking spot. chicagobutters has a new favorite as of 01:49 on Jan 9, 2017 |

I like old Macs but it's not like buying an old PC, software isn't as easy to come by.

Can you use old macs for anything? I've always thought that the G5 Powermac's metal case looked really cool - but can it still do useful things if I bought one on a whim?

This is exactly what Im looking into right now, or at least hollowing it out and installing a similar flatpanel along with the Pi. I only paid 30€ for the entire thing so im not too fussed but I would like to do something with the main shell spog posted:Can you use old macs for anything? Yeah you can rip the insides out and build an actual computer inside with a bit of tweaking.

 Steelseries Arctis 7 My current headset has been acting up lately and even with the volume cranked up to max it's sometimes barely a whisper for movies and videos Never was a fan of wireless before as they tend to stay plugged in anyways , but this headset always has top points from reviewers.

I've used them for a few years now - I love them. My strategy is basically to order like 4 pairs at a time, and if one or two of them don't look good on me I just throw them away, because buying four pairs for about $50 is still infinitely cheaper than buying one pair for like $300 at Lenscrafters

This is the Mojo v3. It is neither a gun part nor a bicycle part: It's a little FPGA with an Arduino roommate in what the vendor claims is an easy to program package. These are shields for the Mojo. This one is for playing with up to 24 servos:  This one is covered in RGB LEDs, has a light sensor, buzzer, and microphone on board, and includes three buttons. I think the intent was to make it easy (plug two things together) to make it hellishly difficult (code the hardware THEN code the software) to make a clock:  This one is just a hot mess of inputs and outputs:  This one isn't a Mojo shield, but it is a book by a good publisher about the Mojo. It uses the hot I/O mess shield in examples:  Ever since reading this article about FPGAs, I've been fascinated by the idea of reconfigurable hardware. I've very likely bitten off more than I can chew, but it should be all kinds of fun to make little beeps and boops in entirely too complicated a fashion. It blows my mind that I can just plug an FPGA into a laptop as easily as a drat Arduino, and that I can do it at the Mojo's price.

 Jaybird Freedom wireless earbuds. The thing I really like about them is that the internal battery has a 4 hour charge, and it comes with a little pack that you just slap onto the controls to give it another 4 hours battery life. Plus this cheap tablet http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_429776.html

Plus now I can better troubleshoot arduino projects, specifically one from awhile back that's been giving me fits (I think I damaged some of the components with high temp hot glue).
