I saw this Arduino Magnetometer while searching through AliExpress a few days ago and did not think of such project. I guess there is probably such a program on an Android smartphone (with a built-in magnetometer) to do such a thing, too.by habibie - Off-Topic
I just did some searches for a smart nail and these are the results from AliExpress and/or Google. Apparently, Google search engine has mostly caught up with the smart nail art things, and very little about the Jakcom smart nail. It certainly would be interesting to see how this electronics smart nail would shape up our future daily lifestyle. May be, there will be some projects you can come up wby habibie - Off-Topic
Starting tomorrow (3/28/17), AliExpress will have its 7th Annual sale. This includes some Android TV Boxes if anyone is interested. Of all, this Mini X5 Smart Android TV Box (Android 5.1 OS, RK3229 Quad Core CPU , 1GB DDR3, 8GB Nand Flash) US $18.75 + Free S/H caught my attention and thought to pass along. What I don't know is if this device can run ARMbian.by habibie - Off-Topic

I was lurking around eBay and this T95X S905X Android 6.0 Smart TV Box Fully Loaded 4K Quad Core Wifi 2G+8GB 3D US $19.99 + Free S/H (last one) as well as this Q-BOX Ultra 4K Smart TV Box S905 Quad-Core Wifi BT Android 5.1 16.0 2G+16G US $23 + Free S/H (2 units available) struck me. AFAICT, both S905 and S905X chipsets are supported by LibreELEC with kodi v17.1. FYI, my MXQ Pro (S905) Android TVby habibie - Off-Topic
