Finally found a use for unboxing videos, trying to put a kitchen mixer with all its accessories back into its original packaging.

Casio just celebrated its 50th anniversary by producing a huge gallery of dozens of its digital watches, from the 70s to today

they are gorgeous beasts

here are are three, including the "tv remote" one from 1993

item #8 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter, free here: buttondown.com/clivethompso...
"A vintage Casio wrist remote control watch is shown with a rectangular digital display and an array of buttons along the sides and bottom. Labels like “POWER,” “TV/VCR,” “STOP,” and “PLAY” indicate its ability to operate electronics, while directional and channel buttons sit below the screen. The black strap and chunky, gadget-filled design emphasize its 1980s–1990s tech aesthetic" "A Casio digital watch is shown with a square display and bold yellow accents highlighting its “Pulse” and “Sensor” buttons. The screen displays the day, date, and time along with smaller indicator icons for modes like alarm, jogging, and timer. Its black band and chunky design give it a rugged, sporty feel, emphasizing its built-in pulse-checking feature." "A retro Casio Data Bank digital watch is shown with its rectangular display and a full alphanumeric keypad beneath the screen. The display shows the day, date, and time, while the buttons on the keypad are labeled with letters, numbers, and small orange function keys. Its black wristband and compact design highlight the vintage, gadget-forward aesthetic of early digital watches"

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse
4 panel comic Panel 1: Red Guy looking way way too happy yells “Hey Guys! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” Blue Guy next to him calmly says “Shhh” Panel 2: Blue Guy tenderly puts his arms around Red Guy and says “You don’t have to do this” Panel 3: Blue Guy still holds Red Guy tightly and repeats “You don’t have to do this every year”. Red Guy begins to break. Panel 4: Red Guy dissolves into Blue Guy’s embrace, sobbing. He finally feels the weight of Christmas Discourse lifting from his shoulders. He is finally free.

Please, Apple, do this one right.
Neuromancer by @greatdismal.bsky.social finally gets a TV series. Could be amazing, but expectations will be high from all of us who read these books when we were young.

Count Zero was a personal fave.

Just finished a Neo Geo Pocket IPS screen mod after finding a boxed console for parts. The touch sensor to change the palette colours doesn't work, but it's still so much better than a non-working screen, or a non-backlit one.

Hahaha, right?! Or what about mandatory disclosures for the discrepancy between the salaries of the CEO and their lowest paid worker? That would be so funny, right?! Let’s do it as a funny joke!!!

to the surprise of nobody, the BBC is pandering to the hate crimers www.erininthemorning.com/p/bbc-now-ca...
BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

I am a podcast literalist. Existing in other formats in parallel is fine, but if it doesn't have an RSS feed with enclosures, it's straight up not a podcast.

Spotify exclusive? Only on YouTube? Not a podcast.

Podcasting isn't a format or a presentation style. It's a file delivery mechanism.

The Spanish government mounted a FANTASTIC pro-democracy campaign timed to the 50 anniversary of Franco's death that enumerates all the FREEDOMS Spaniards enjoy that they didn't under Franco. It especially targets young people who didn't live through the dictatorship.
