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 €200. 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 :(

    1. A stand mixer, I’ve always wanted one but don’t have the space or the money.
    2. A dreamcast, I foolishly sold the one I had and I miss it a lot.
    3. An iPad just to try Procreate. I’ve seen videos that make it look like the bees knees and it really catches my attention.

      I have a stand mixer that I acutely never use. It’s decent and almost new.

      Maybe I can get it somehow to you.

        Thanks! I appreciate the intention but considering that I live in Mexico, probably with the shipping cost I could afford a new one, hahaha.

      I’m with you on the iPad for Procreate. I also just want something I can take to bed or outside so I can draw, and the drawing tablet I have only works on desktop/laptop with too many wires running across, so I usually only use it for graphic work or cleaning up sketches

      I love my stand mixer! I don’t have room either, but I still carry it back and forth to and from the kitchen to use it all the time. It’s pretty difficult to carry for me but still less work than kneading for ten minutes.
