OMG! I still have my DataLink watch somewhere. I remember thinking it was amazing and showing off all the phone numbers I'd programmed into it.
Will your code work with any flashing LED? Or does it need special hardware?
What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.
Cheers! It is actually a very lightly customised version of Atkinson. See https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/08/an-update-to-the-atkinson-hyperlegible-font/
Oooof! Yeah, I don't think I could cope with that.
I use the blade of the knife for the butter, and then use the handle of the knife for the marmite.
Foolproof!
That's easy. I pronounce it correctly.
That stupid Goose game. Pissed me off how simple and repetitive it was. Completed it in a few hours and felt like a total rip off. I still get angry when I see the memes.
Muppets Mayhem is OUTSTANDING. It's funny and sweet all the way through. But the episode where they parody the "Get Back" documentary is nothing short of genius. Highly recommended.
The question is always going to be "who are you defending against?"
If the CIA/FBI/MI5/KGB etc want in to your data, they'll probably find a way. If it is just stolen, then the phone's built in protection is going to stop anyone from brute forcing it.
But your biggest weakness is yourself. Do you really want to type in a 8 digit pin every time? No. So you'll leave it unlocked for longer - which gives a theif more time to fiddle with it.
In the UK, you can use Curve. That gives you a physical or virtual card which proxies your existing Visa / MasterCards (not Amex).
But it doesn't have an NFC app you can use on Android. As far as I can tell, there are no other virtual NFC payment apps.
And, of course, it doesn't really improve your privacy posture. Your bank still knows who you spent with - as does Curve.
If you want a free fiver, you can use my Curve referral link - http://curve.app/join#D4MK9ZKN
It is so nice today that I'm going to be WFG (working from garden). I hope my laptop doesn't overheat.
Anyone else planning the same?

I enjoyed Portraits of Childfree Wealth - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/03/book-review-portraits-of-childfree-wealth-jay-zigmont/
The book is free and has a fairly realistic look at the (American) childfree experience.
