I will mess with all kinds of hardware, especially mini PCs and routers.. I once had a few hundred iPhones in my closet… but I draw the line at anything that uses batteries or electricity in a non-standard way. If the wire can’t carry data, I’m not touching it.

Maybe it’s because when I was a kid, I fancied myself an experimenter, and I had a wire ripped off a lamp, and touched the two ends together…
