I read a post from Robb Knight recently about his computing origin story. It was an interesting post, so I thought I'd add my own computing history to the mix.

Oldest son: Dad, are there any cars that have auto-pilot?

Me: Only , but it doesn’t work very well.

Him: Why not?

Me: Because the man who invented Tesla told everyone it would work, so people tried it, and many crashed. Some even died.

Him: Woah! Is he in jail now then?

Me: Nope.

Him: Why not?!

Me: Because he’s the richest man in the world.

Him: Wow. He should really be in jail in for that.

Me: You’ll go far you, son.

If you're looking for a solution for the "Fedi DDoS link share", this seems to work reasonable

@stux That’s very kind, thank you. 😊

I actually fixed the DDoS thing with good old caching.

The best analogue watch under £20

I picked this watch up thinking I’d like a cheap analogue watch to use when I don’t want to wear my Speedmaster and I’ve been blown away by how good it is. It’s got all of the qualities I wanted Water proof Light and comfortable Rotating bezel for timing things Day/date Large indicies But most importantly something that I don’t have to worry about.

@ljpuk I have the white dial version of this, it’s fantastic. One of the clearest watches I own.

@ljpuk It was on a NATO when I took that. I’ve since put it back on its original strap.

@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@ljpuk Yup, 18mm. Thanks. I’ve been thinking of adding a random watch picker to help me choose which watch to wear each morning. Haven’t got around to implementing it yet though. 😊

@merecivilian My iPhone 13 Mini.

@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@merecivilian Yeah, I’ve had it around 18 months now I think. I don’t like big phones - I have a bigger one for work (no idea which) and I hate it.

Anyway, I have the basic model, so 64gb I think?

Again, really love the Nova editor so much, because of the Launcher. This sums up my most successful "noodles" which are my side projects that are doing well, hopefuly Sublime Feed will be up there with them — just need to build it ❤️

@vincentritter I’ve been thinking about giving Nova a try for a while now. Been using VSCodium for so long.

Saw @robb writing about his favourite games recently (link below) and he mentioned a Tony Hawk remaster. I didn’t know this was a thing, but I LOVED the Tony Hawk games back in the day.

Five minutes on eBay and 11 of my finest pounds later, I have the game too. Just need to find the time to play it now…

@jeroen94704 @robb Yep. Last time I had a chance to play Xbox (around 3 months ago) I turned it on, and only managed to update the thing in the time I had haha.

@brandonwrites @robb I managed to get 10 mins on it earlier. Yeah it’s as good as I remember…

I have the AE1500 on today. Pic with an A168 and F91W for reference as to how HUGE this thing is.

@kev@fosstodon.org avatar

@kev I have a literal box full of them. Just be careful jot to swap too often as the bars in the F91W is a press fit insteat of spring. So after a while, the plastic case will wear with the in/out of the pins and they will become loose.
