Bad USB Devices
New Offensive USB Cable Allows Remote Attacks over WiFi - scary stuff. That's why you need to wrap your dongle.

Logging
This is one of my favorite old locks, used to secure registered mail containers. It can be picked, but that’s not the main security function. It has a counter that advances whenever it’s opened, making it difficult steal mail undetected. It’s essentially a re-usable seal. pic.twitter.com/q9IzoPtQEu— matt blaze (@mattblaze) February 6, 2019

Wouxun KG-UVD1P
An oldie, but a goodie...
"I have 6 (six) variants of this radio with the original UV-1D being my favorite! Back in 2011 when I first became a ham radio op, the Wouxun was the 'cheap' low-cost entry level rig (the world before baofeng). Coming in at nearly $80 less than the stellar FT-60 the UV-1D was right in my budget range. 8 (Eight) Years later, it's still my 'go-to' handi. While it's not my favorite HT (Kenwood TH-k20) it is the one I find myself using anytime I am forced to use a hand-held radio. Over the years I've added a pair of 2m/6m and 2m/220 versions as well as a few spare 2m/70cm rigs. When my eldest passed his tech test last year-he got a New Wouxun HT. As you can see I'm pretty heavily invested in Wouxun, and although I sometimes wonder if I'd been better off with an offering from the Big3 (unattainable in '11), when you add it all up ($) it seems like money well spent.

Cyberpunk
The cool thing about cyberpunk coming true is that we got ALL the cyberpunk futures.— Noah Smith (@Noahpinion) June 1, 2018
China: universal surveillance and social control
America: cool gadgets and staggering inequality
Russia: shadowy plots, covert ops, and assasins

GarageMate
I could see this GarageMate (Bluetooth garage door opener) being very handy for bike rides and things around the neighborhood. I wonder how frequently I would wish I could open the garage door remotely from work or somewhere. At $54 and an easy install, I may give it a whirl.

In TNG, Picard has a flute he sometimes plays.— foone (@Foone) February 12, 2019
The only problem is that Sir Patrick Stewart cannot play the flute. So they have someone else's hands pretend to play it while he makes silly facial expressions, and they dub in music later.

The Matrix
The Matrix is crazier than we all suspected...
A digital billboard in Odessa malfunctioned, in the fog. Convincing unknown numbers of motorists not only were they living in the Matrix, but it was being run on Windows 98. pic.twitter.com/a5O0Yoj0Lu— Pádraig Belton (@PadraigBelton) February 8, 2019
