I don't care for the smartthings app and everyone in my immediate family are Apple users. I really just want open communications across all the devices. I got the smart things as a relatively easy "security" system for while we were on vacation a few years ago.
I lusted over this exact setup when I was in my teens.
A Samsung CHG90 for gaming (on my Mac Pro with the 1080Ti) 
Yep, it’s a Zero W. It’s probably a bit overkill for my use, but I’m working on making a portable record player.
Got me a 15" MacBook Pro Touch Bar
Where do I get the wallpaper??
A speed de-restriction dongle for my Cube electric pushbike.
The bikes motor is restricted from giving assistance to pedalling at speeds above 15mph, with the motor turning off. This can be frustrating as I often want to cruise along at 17-20mph. This device will allow the motor to remain on at speeds up to 30mph....

Not trying to be rude, serious question. What Is the point of buying one of these bicycles with a motor? Wouldn't it be better to just buy a motorcycle? Good luck on it, its really cool looking!A speed de-restriction dongle for my Cube electric pushbike.

Its pedal assist, meaning you still have to pedal just like a normal bike, but the motor gives you assistance whilst pedalling. When you stop pedalling the motor cuts out. The motor also cuts out when you reach 15mph whilst pedalling. As soon as your speed drops back below 15mph and you start pedalling, the motor switches on again, giving you assistance.
The control unit on the handlebars allows you to adjust the amount of assistance, from 50% to 300%. When the motor is off there is some resistance when pedalling. So imaging you're building up speed nicely with the motor helping, as soon as you reach 15mph the pedalling suddenly gets difficult.
I use it to commute to work for fitness reasons, I have some incredibly steep hills on my commute that i struggle with on a normal bike. The ebike can make those hills either a bit easier to ride up, or a lot easier, depending on the setting.
Oh, and I've already got a motorbike
New desk for my iMac from Ikea, Linnmon table top and Adils legs
Amazing combo. I remember craving this awesome setup years back. Where did you get it? Care to share maybe? Thanks!
iPod Hi-Fi sound is a hit or miss. Boy can this speaker fill rooms. In order for it to sound decent, placement of speaker, coupled lossless audio files is important. Truthfully, the design of the Hi-Fi and Video 5th Generation is just beautiful. The white on white is lovely. It would be great in anyone’s collection or just for display.
Thank you so much for that explanation, that makes complete sense! Good luck and it sounds like that's smart choice, spend less on gas as well.Its pedal assist, meaning you still have to pedal just like a normal bike, but the motor gives you assistance whilst pedalling.
