Snips.ai. A tool to make your own private voice assistant, one that presumably doesn't snoop on you every day (no Alexa or Cortana or any of that crap in my house...)     #>


Jersey City Repair. In spite of how difficult the website is to figure out what's going on their service was fast and did exactly what I needed (which was get a new BIOS chip on a Macbook Pro). I'd bought a Macbook Pro to learn something about OS-X and Apple in general and at one point it booted and decided there was no hard-drive. Naturally the asshole that sold it to me had put on a BIOS password and used a burner phone number to sell me the computer so I thought it was a brick (Apple was extremely un-helpful in resolving this, basically telling me to get fucked.)

I took the laptop apart, sent them the mainboard (could have sent them the whole computer but I didn't want to deal with it) and $155 later (and a couple of days) they sent it back. I rebuilt the Macbook and it's worked flawlessly since.     #>


Pi Zero GPIO expander tutorial. That is slick, basically you plug your Raspi Zero into your existing computer and you can access all of the GPIO pins without having to go through the trouble of plugging the Raspi into a monitor and keyboard and such.     #>


Kali Linux Evil Wireless Access Point. Yikes, set it up as a Comcast wifi point and watch the logins roll in.     #>
