🤔 The circuitry inside a Casio watch isn't too complex, maybe I could measure it and manufacture a replacement with more features.
Oops somebody already did it! Way better than I would have!
The "Pluto" watch, which re-purposes the case and LCD from a Casio F91-W, includes a compass, infrared programming, RTTTL ringtone (musical) alarms, generates RFC 6238 one-time passwords, open source, and runs for a year on a standard watch battery! Wow!! 😮
more cybrepnuk than Pebble imho
@datagrok ah, that's the Casio watch that gets you double-checked at airports, right? (because the circuitry isa favorite among terrorists). Given my Arabic name, I'm afraid that watch is not for me...
@catdad @hisham_hm ugh idk what to say about security theater. I imagine that even if you're careful not to wear the wrong watch they'll make up some other excuse to harass people 😩
Have you heard of Star Simpson? MIT student who went to an airport with some blinky leds in her jacket, security lost their minds, and the school basically threw her under the bus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQdl_JdTars
It's absolutely disgusting
@hisham_hm
