I like to understand, design and create stuff. I guess I'm interested in tech that helps with that, I dislike smartphones (mine is an old Android without Google tools and just an app to play music), I don't like "social network sites", dev.to is the closer I get to it. Got an invitation to FB when it was very early and droped it as fast; never got into Twitter, Instagram, or alike.

So people tend to brand me as non-techy, but I love to play with Arduinos, learn new dev tech, I've done a lot with SBCs (Rasperry Pi, Beaglebone, CubieBoards and Bannana Pi), mostly for fun and personal projects, I like to tweak my OS and I use Gentoo just for fun.

I think I'm a tech-user only if the tech in question helps me build something.
