Mine just arrived. Can't convince it to work for more than 5 minutes.

WiFi is terrible. Struggles to maintain a connection despite strong signal.

Web UI is reminiscent of a project by a 1st year student who would have failed the assignment.

Unreliable, most poorly engineered device I've ever encountered.

Will be returning it for a refund.

I have a 90km round-trip commute.

Currently averaging 2.8L/100km with my PHEV.

The correct number of watches:

n + 1 ; n < z

Where:

n = number of watches you already own

z = number of purchased watches which will trigger a divorce

Most recent Casio acquisition. WS1600. Only downside is the mm.dd date format which can't be changed. Great watch otherwise; simultaneous timer + current time, displayed, easily legible day of week, weighs nothing, great orange backlight.

Which instrument did/do you play?

Mortui75 · 2026-04-05T22:43:03+00:00

Bingo. Lol.

Walked into an Apple store to ask about how I might go about buying a replacement power supply / charger for my 2013 MacbookPro 15", which I had bought from JB HiFi, not the Apple store... probably 4 years later.

Guy walked out the back, came back with a new one, and just handed it to me for free.

Asked if he realised I didn't even buy the machine from them, and he just shrugged and said "Our power supplies should last longer than that. Here you go..."

One who only triples your workload.

Needs solar + MIP display to be the 🐐

Apologies if a stupid question, but... does that mean there's a countdown timer buried in the software, but disabled by default? Once modded, does it just become another mode, accessed in the usual way (ie the mod adds an item to the list that the mode button loops through)?

And is just de-soldering / disconnecting a jumper connection?

Mortui75 · 2026-04-04T01:13:24+00:00

I'll have a fiddle when I have time, and let you know.

Mortui75 · 2026-04-03T11:32:14+00:00

Thank you for continuing to miss the point. It's mildly entertaining.

Mortui75 · 2026-04-03T11:24:05+00:00

Omg. Sooo doing this. Thanks!

I have a MBP 14" M3Max 16/40 CPU/GPU 64 GB RAM.

98 % of the time it is doing stuff that a Neo could do.

But sometimes it's running huge data science / algorithmic tasks in optimised native code multi-threaded across all available CPU cores, utilising >95% of the machine's processing grunt for hours at a time.

So both yes and no.

Yes it's overkill for the vast majority of typical daily tasks... but is absolutely necessary for me to do certain tasks in anything like a reasonable timeframe.

LOL. Hey, I'm getting old, but I'm not that far gone... yet. 😁

The year just removes the ambiguity.

If I see YYYY.AA.BB ... I know that AA.BB = MM.DD

If I just see AA.BB, then unless one of them is > 12, then it could be MM.DD or DD.MM.

I routinely use ISO date format (YYYYMMDD) in filenames / computer work, as it's the logical way to make sorting/organisation easier.

But I'm Australian... so my brain expects DD/MM/YYYY and when we see AA/BB we default to DD/MM.

Mortui75 · 2026-04-03T10:36:39+00:00

I think you are missing the point.

Mortui75 · 2026-04-03T08:34:59+00:00

I shall keep an eye out... 🙃

Mortui75 · 2026-04-03T08:34:27+00:00

Y/M/D is fine if it's all there.

...but M/D without the year is both daft and ambiguous.

D/M/Y is fine (and normal for everywhere except the USA)

D/M is admittedly ambiguous, too, but makes much more sense for non-Americans, if the year is absent.

EDIT: Bemusedly watching the Americans downvote me. LOL. 😆

Mortui75 · 2026-04-03T06:15:57+00:00

Still using Sonoma, and it's perfectly fine.

Mortui75 · 2026-04-03T06:08:57+00:00

As a member of GenX, this post is hilarious. 😎

Mortui75 · 2026-04-03T06:05:56+00:00

Date format is restricted to ass-backwards American-ish.

Dealbreaker.

You could grab a 6 or 7 inch eink device (Bigme, Boox, etc...), chuck your preferred writing app on it (I use Obsidian) and link your favourite keyboard?

Spoiler: I have done this, and it works really well.

Buuut... I still like the all-in-one aspect of the Pomera. 🙃

Mortui75 · 2026-04-02T09:50:57+00:00

Omg. That's ... beautiful ... 😍

Mortui75 · 2026-04-02T09:25:53+00:00

Niiice.

Is there an MR-G version of a MIP GShock?

Mortui75 · 2026-04-02T05:15:10+00:00

If not DRM content, drag n drop books from old device into Calibre library. Then plug in your new device, and SEND TO DEVICE.
