I put 100€ tag on my hour of tinkering or hacking. That’s how I even don’t start projects without commercial intention. It would be really cool to upgrade old G

  That's sad that you feel that way. There is so much potential unknown that can be discovered in these types of projects. If you only ever do things that will make you money, well...I don't know exactly. Boring is the best I can come up with. You don't ever do things just because it might be fun? Or is it that you actually do know everything and there's no point?

    I do lots of tinkering and hacking in my day job. I rather build something using well structured Lego instruction in my spare time. I was thinking about designing my own smart home units recently, but ended up buying quality lamps with motion detectors.

      That's understandable. All I do is bang on a keyboard doing code for someone else. Luckily, I do find it interesting so it gets my all. However, there's something totally different in comparing what I do for a day job vs tinkering with DIY electronic projects, soldering, wiring, designing, programming, etc. However, time is limited which is why I have so many partial projects stashed away. None of it was critical which also contributes to the lack of completion status on some of them. There were other projects that did get completed however, and those definitely applied knowledge gleaned and/or parts from some of the incomplete projects. Everyone's spare time is their own, and there's never not enough of it, so I do understand the consideration of how best to spend it when available.

  To me I wouldn't call this tinkering.
