Sam the Octopus @troubleMoney@computerfairi.es

@wigglytuffitout actual thing that happened

Also under Montana law anything that's animal powered doesn't count as a vehicle so you can't get done for driving under the influence if you're riding a horse (not a lawyer, this is not actual legal advice)

@wigglytuffitout @garfield you might think "but what about those octopus' gardens we hear so much about?" but nope, that's basically all hard landscaping

you want a nice rockery, no problem, crops? no idea

@wigglytuffitout @garfield it's true, I know bugger all about farming

Someone's posted a good picture of the new Sinn 104 St Sa A B E

Really liking that aluminium bezel

@wigglytuffitout thanks for blaming me for this by the way

@wigglytuffitout I'm not sure how well the material would hold up to the relative high temperature of sealing wax

but you have just given me the idea of a butthole signet ring which would be perfect for sealing complaint letters

@wigglytuffitout he himself said that memes were viral and subject to natural selection, if anything the term "meme" mutating and out-competing his original definition is evidence that he was at least somewhat right, don't know what he's so angry about

@PHBS but the fire is so delightfu... SHIT! THAT ISN'T MEANT TO BE ON FIRE! GET THE EXTINGUISHERS!

@sylveon @seb I was thinking more like cantennas and other DIY options than off-the-shelf solutions

IP over Avian Carriers update that adds support for rockets

puttin' ICMP requests on ur ICBM

@sylveon @seb long range wireless would make things like that easier, that way you wouldn't have to get everyone on board, just a few people in geographically advantageous positions

or use IP over trebuchet

@PHBS hey welcome!

horror story idea: the untitled goose is loose on the ISS

@Jo ...ah, of course

@Jo physical notebook for the passwords

not best practice, but their threat model probably doesn't include people breaking and entering to get access to their facebook account

@typhlosion funnily enough that's basically how this worked

On board it had a 4-bit CPU, 2K of RAM, and 7.5K of ROM, putting it in the UC-2200 dock let it use a Z80, 4K of RAM, and 26K of ROM

I'd be a lot more interested in smartwatches if they were like this, the Seiko UC-2000

It was released in 1984 and was a digital watch with memo function that could be put in a dock to turn it into a reasonably well-featured microcomputer

Imagine being able to wear your PC on your wrist and just plop it into a dock when you wanted more functionality, that'd be cool

Interesting thing from MeisterSinger, the Astroscope

Really neat way of showing the day on it, best explained by monochrome here https://monochrome-watches.com/2020-meistersinger-astroscope-review-price/
