It just wouldn't be Baselworld if Rolex didn't release something awful and tacky

Rolex Rainbow Daytona in Everose Gold

@squirrel bloody hell

Sadly I know barely anything about windows these days so I can't be much help

@squirrel *ships self to magic repair squirrelbun*

There's one major problem with the "What is Mastodon?" video

It doesn't feature the true mascot of mastodon, @squirrel

Until my gear gets a couple of scratches and/or dings it just doesn't really feel like it's mine, it feels like I'm borrowing it or something

Ah, my watch has a couple of tiny almost impossible to see scratches on the AR coating on the crystal now

I can consider it properly mine now!

Took the best part of 9 months for even that to appear on it and I've been wearing it pretty much every day, Sinn watches are really hard as nails

@celesteh@mastodon.social I'd probably stick to social titles rather than formal ones

@celesteh@mastodon.social also you wouldn't get an upgrade

The people who deal with that sort of thing tend to have a copy of Who's Who handy

@celesteh@mastodon.social Quite possibly a lot of inconvenience at security when your passport doesn't match

Otherwise it isn't illegal so long as you're not using it for fraudulent purposes

Just remembered something that I'm slightly sad isn't still as much of a thing, sampler albums

Used to be that a music label (typically the small indie type) would put out an album with a song or two from all of their artists on

Was a great way to find new bands

@squirrel actually I think I may have just reinvented the sampler album

@squirrel YES! CDs with a couple of tracks on and if you like it you send $money to a PO Box and they send you the rest of the album!

@squirrel HI LOCAL GAY BUNNY!

@squirrel they can be very confusing

especially hardware

@squirrel okay, 256M seems reasonable for that, so it's probably not the shared graphics memory bit that's the issue

no idea what's going on there

@squirrel good question, I'll have to look it up

@squirrel considering the BIOS and memtest can see it I can only think that linux is giving that memory to some device or other

graphics is the usual suspect, if you do "lspci -v" it'll show you all the devices and how much RAM each of them is taking
