Didnt read the whole list, stopped at microcontrollers:
Absolutely recommend everyone and their brother get an arduino learning kit or something similar. Being able to make your own devices is liberating. Learning to make custom IOT devices is even moreso.
The rapid prototyping/learning kit it less than $100, once you've prototyped your projects and want to move them to a soldered breadboard or a PCB the microcontroller itself is about $3 on digikey. Cheap cheap cheap stuff considering what you can do with it. Obviously parts can add up but, c'mon Michael, there's always money in the banana stand.
I think they are cool I haven't really had the time or stuff to do much with them besides install a Linux distro, but a very nice thing to have around. I thought about making a 3D printer or maybe a phone with one.
Also the list is cool you should read it. I'm sure you will find at least one thing you didn't know you needed.
