Moving house is 1/3 furniture-based crossfit, 1/3 gazing wistfully at books (either the unread or the too long since-read) and (for me), 1/3 unearthing hardware I had apparently forgotten about. It's like laughing at technology from still-recent movies, but for items in my house.

Apparently, amongst dev boards and components I still posses a Coin as well as a Google Glass (!) why do I have one of those? A quick story.. about 4 years ago now, a friend and I bought a pair and opened it up, to publish the first internals teardown http://catwig.com/google-glass-teardown …

This is obviously a non-recoverable state for a piece of hardware (I mean, the electronics still "worked" in the sense that you could power them on and observe them operating, but not really in any practical way beyond that)pic.twitter.com/Z08p0egJUm

Some half a year or so after doing the teardown, Google did a recall-and-replace on Glass hardware. I didn't figure they'd send a replacement, but after getting a "send whatever you have" I dropped the parts in a box and shipped it away. Soon after.. a new pair arrived.

(As a side-note, the reason I did this was due to having this exact same problem. Sending the parts back to Google seemed like the likely best way to offer the guts up for proper recycling at the time.)
