It's got the same dimensions and overall shape but it's had a fair few changes, the movement is now a 4R36 which is a very nice improvement over the 7S26, it now comes with a display caseback, but the water resistance has now dropped to 100m and it's probably going to lose the ISO rating which utterly sucks

(I lied, 2/3)

According to everything I can find Seiko have discontinued the SKX007, possibly the best dive watch in the <$250 range and a beloved favourite of watch enthusiasts everywhere

So we were all wondering what the replacement would be, and there's a leak that looks legit

y'know what? I know I said it was irrelevant but I'm gonna talk about it anyway

Eunomia was a minor greek goddess of law and legislation

Meaning it's basically called ProjectLAW

As if "They called it ProjectLAW, designed to bring truth to the internet..." isn't part of the intro narration to a low-budget dystopian sci-fi flick

on further thought our silicon-based friends can fix that in software however it's the ones made out of meat that have more trouble with misinfo and you can't solve it in software for them

also misinformation isn't an internet problem

people have been spreading misinformation since we climbed down from the proverbial trees and probably a bit before then

it's a critical thinking problem, and you can't solve that with software

Problems with ProjectEUNOMIA

1) sinister as fuck name, irrelevant to discussions but it wouldn't have hurt them to call it Project Fluffy Bunnies or something

2) anything they build will just move the problem from people blindly believing anything they read to people blindly believing anything they read that has a green checkmark or whatever next to it which doesn't solve the original problem

3) obvious abuse potential of anything they build

possibly neat wearable tech idea: a signet ring for the modern era

openpgp card implementation built into a ring

maybe with an engraving as well if you want to get out some sealing wax and have a key signing party like it's 1799

I once came across a bottle of satan's own egg and brandy liqueur

it was the devil's advocaat

for context, this Project EUNOMIA thing

which is an incredibly sinister name if you think about it regardless of any links to anything

Did Eugen not notice the amount of stick we gave gibson for merely talking to the cops or did he think collaborating on a research project carried out on behalf of a government by a firm that's previously done projects with the UK MoD is a completely different thing?

just imagine, all the communist furries in one big uwunion

and a headphone jack!

in your face, apple!

I've just come across this thing, the GPD Micro

It's a tiny laptop (6 inch)

More to the point it's a tiny laptop with gigabit ethernet AND RS-232 ports!

Blade Runner is set just seven months from now

One of our hedgehogs has apparently heard of the trashtag challenge and has decided to help out

I want a Star Trek TV show that just follows a group of vulcans on a primarily human R&D station along the lines of that tumblr thread on humans as deranged hyper-neophiles
