Here's the world's first pilot's watch

Made by Louis Cartier for his friend Alberto Santos-Dumont, who was also the first person to fly a plane without wind- or hill-assisted bullshit

It's also credited with being one of the timepieces that first popularised wristwatches for men, previously the wristwatch was classed as a feminine piece of jewellery with men wearing pocket watches

wait, the cooking mama having blockchain thing wasn't a joke?

Given the lead dev of Exodus Privacy apparently hasn't heard of nmap (source: https://mastodon.social/@U039b/102604122863011626 ) I'd take anything that organisation says about anything with a boatload of salt

I cleverly secured my home by moving my front door a foot to the left

"THIS BANK VAULT IS INSECURE!"

"it has biometric ID, dual control electronic combination locks with failsafes, and 2 metre thick steel doors, it's secure"

"BUT I KNOW WHERE IT IS"

"...mate, we could put it in the middle of times square and nobody would get in without being authorised"

"BUT I KNOW WHERE THE DOOR IS! PEOPLE CAN GET IN!"

how to scare the crap out of USAians in one picture

wait, nb people get issued crossbows?!

awesome!

screw busses, I wanna get places via fish tube

FISH TOOB!

huh, this is a neat thing I just found out

turns out on the Casio W800 there's a countdown timer function that's disabled in hardware

and you can enable it by just removing some solder

might have to do that to one at some point

with all those tardigrades being spilled on the moon we know what we're getting in a couple million years

I'm still sour on Sony equipment since the rootkit debacle but I have to say well done them on the port selection on their new VAIO SX12

SD card, USB 3.1, USB-C, 2x USB 3.0, HDMI, RJ45, VGA, and a headphone jack

No serial port but still, nice load of ports

@maple no, wait, something based on a gin fizz is totally more like it

switch the simple for maple syrup, add some midori, melon for garnish

something like that

@maple the new screen name is making me think of a japanese-inspired maple cocktail

probably because I've just seen a video on midori

I'm thinking midori, maple syrup, some citrus juice of some kind, and... probably whisky

apparently York council are trialling the purge
