[TriLUG] Long-range Bluetooth adapter for Linux

[Wes Garrison via TriLUG]

Kind of off topic, but Amazon has their own URL shortener:
amzn.com/B09JRWJDM6

That's just amzn.com (no https or www) and the Amazon product ID (aka.
ASIN) after the "dp" in the regular URL.

It's useful because you know the link belongs to Amazon, filters out all
the referral crap, and you don't have to go through the trouble of creating
a link to get there.
