Canon CanoScan LiDE 120
I checked SANE‘s supported devices list, and saw that the LiDE 120 is supported , however the model I received uses a different and Linux-unsupported chipset! (GL848+)
Herein are notes of my misadventure.

A PlayStation 2 controller macro device.
This is a middleman between a standard PlayStation 2 controller and the console. It can also be chained through to a USB adapter or other such device, to ultimately let an original PS2 controller work with a computer.
Unfortunately, this has an limited number of button presses that it can do! I think it’s 9 or 10.

If you want macro functionality and use a PS/2 controller adapter for a PC game, consider AutoHotkey.
coming later

A very inexpensive yet capable phone.
At a glance, it seems okay. Android and every app I’ve seen have many UI flaws, but that’s not the X20’s fault.
After a week of use, I have to say this is a fantastic phone. It’s the perfect beginner’s smartphone and there’s nothing I’ve done that’s been limited in any way whatsoever by its specifications. I have not run out of storage or memory.. not even close. Do note that I haven’t played any games, and I probably never will.
I am really ticked that it doesn’t have OTG support, so I can’t use the microSD for anything but charging. Powering off, pulling my charging dongle out, removing the half-case, removing the battery cover, removing the battery and moving the SD card back and forth is an awful, awful, way for me to edit files.

The minimum volume is way too loud.
- The bottom microUSB port works for a USB key.

An fast, moderate-sized and extraordinarily cheap drive.
Refurbished, but these seem to be in good shape. Don’t expect the intel manufacturer’s warranty to have much, if any, time left. You’re leaning on newegg, and then perhaps your credit card’s insurance policy, if it has one.

A stereo microphone just shy of being studio-quality. Very high quality and very highly recommended.
With no drivers needed, this thing has been tested and works on various Linux distributions, Windows XP, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. I’ve also tested it as an audio output device (a “sound card”) and it works great.

- abandoned – the store page is gone and I didn’t have a brand page
- There is no name brand or model identification on this device or its documentation.
