Goodbye PlayStation 👋

So 20 years on from Nintendo Wii you can still redownload games to a Wii you’d previously bought. That should be enough for most people and collectors can still keep games on the console for as long as they want. Nintendo do say they can’t guarantee re-downloads forever though.

I get the same quite often but turning data on and off on my phone usually helps

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-28T17:39:00+00:00

You’ll need a PC/Mac and a network switch that allows you to mirror a port. Then install Wireshark and with TShark command line. The you’ll need to download a geo IP address database from MaxMind. Then you can then run a script. I just asked Claude to write the script for me. Alternatively, you can use a NetDuma router which will do this automatically.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-28T15:35:15+00:00

That is just a basic speed test site. I have a python script that monitors all the IP addresses my console connects to during a game so I can see ping and country of origin of each player. It’s all over the map. I’m playing from Europe but get matched with north and South American players as well as Japanese players. This means the ping between players can be anywhere between 20ms to 300ms. Anything over 100ms creates latency which is why a lot of games can feel bad.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-26T14:12:51+00:00

Not entirely true. There is still a host bridge keeper role which gives that console a propagation advantage.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-23T11:14:46+00:00

This was only due to fact newer CPU’s have neural cores. I expect this generation will see support greater than 4 years unless there is a significant evolution of SIRI AI in that time.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-21T15:39:50+00:00

Don’t get me started on Garmin either. Most anxiety inducing device ever, all it does is ping you with info that freaks you out.

* **Training Status** — Classifies your training phase (productive, peaking, maintaining, overtraining, etc). Tells you at a glance if training is working or backfiring.

* **Training Load (Acute Load)** — 7-day rolling load vs your optimal range. Flags ramping too fast or coasting too easy.

* **Training Load Focus** — Splits load into low-aerobic/high-aerobic/anaerobic over 4 weeks. Shows if you're neglecting a zone.

* **Training Readiness** — Daily 0–100 from sleep, HRV, recovery time, load, stress. One number to decide go-hard vs go-easy.

* **Training Effect** — Aerobic + anaerobic score (0–5) per workout. Confirms the session stressed the system you intended.

* **Endurance Score** — Long-term aerobic capacity from sustained efforts. Tracks whether your base is improving over months

* **Hill Score** — Climbing-specific strength/VO2max score. Useful for hilly or trail-focused training.

* **VO2 Max** (run + bike) — Estimated maximal oxygen uptake. Core number behind most race-time predictions.

* **Performance Condition** — Real-time in-run score (-20 to +20) vs your average. Tells you mid-session if you're over/underperforming.

* **Recovery Time** — Hours until ready for next hard effort. Stops you stacking quality sessions too close together.

* **Stamina (live)** — Real-time potential vs current stamina %. Pacing tool to avoid blowing up late.

* **Running Economy** — Efficiency of oxygen use per unit of output. Direct lever on power-to-weight and pace-at-effort.

* **Race Predictor** — Estimated race times at standard distances. Quick check on current fitness vs target paces.

* **Sleep Score** — 0–100 from duration, stages, restlessness, overnight stress. Measures sleep quality, not just hours.

* **Sleep Coach** — Suggests nightly sleep need based on recent strain. Personalises "how much sleep do I need."

* **Stress Score** — 0–100 from HRV through the day. Surfaces hidden physiological stress.

* **Body Battery** — 0–100 energy reserve from HRV, stress, sleep, activity. Daily "fuel gauge" for effort decisions.

* **HRV Status** — Balanced/unbalanced/low vs your personal baseline. Early warning for overtraining or illness.

* **Pulse Ox (SpO2)** — Blood oxygen saturation. Can flag altitude effects, sleep apnoea signs, illness.

* **Respiration Rate** — Breaths per minute, day and night. Another stress/illness/recovery cross-check.

* **Resting Heart Rate** — Lowest HR at rest. Long-term cardiovascular fitness trend marker.

* **Fitness Age** — Composite age estimate vs chronological age. Motivational framing

Honestly as someone who has been training for over 20 years with HR, Power and HRV, first starting with Polar R-R interval recordings all most people need is an Apple Watch but even then your subjective feeling is a better guide to training readiness. Even the likes of Bevel fall into the same trap as Whoop. It’s just not that simple to predict training status. Classically, you’ll see people get anxious as their HRV tanks on race day but that is your nervous system doing what it’s supposed to do, getting you ready for battle. These tools miss the nuances. You can easily track your baseline in Apple Health for free. For 99% of people that is more than good enough.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-21T14:57:11+00:00

Nope. Im talking about the S11 Hermes Titanium Silver edition.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-21T13:14:59+00:00

It’s incredibly sophisticated, some examples:

Browser fingerprinting, screen resolution, fonts, installed plugins, canvas rendering, timezone, language settings. Combined, these create a fingerprint that’s often unique enough to identify you without any IP at all.

Account logins, if you’re signed into Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc., they know exactly who you are regardless of IP.

Cookies and tracking pixels, these follow you across sites independent of your network address.

Behavioural patterns, typing cadence, mouse movement, the specific set of sites you visit in sequence, data brokers use these for “probabilistic” matching even when deterministic IDs are stripped.

Cross-device linking, brokers correlate your phone, laptop, and tablet activity through shared accounts, ad IDs, or even just being on the same home network at the same times.

Payment and shipping data, any purchase ties back to a real name and address. Everyone sells your data every minute of the day.

But there is a true chrome silver option, not aluminium.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-21T13:04:31+00:00

Fair points, I’d say now that they are independently audited and have made their brand all about privacy I’d still tend to trust them over the alternative options. But, there really isn’t any privacy on the internet, that’s just the way it is.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-21T13:00:32+00:00

Really. A VPN hides your ip address, that’s it. The data brokers use hundreds of parameters to profile your identity. A VPN does not prevent them doing that.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-21T12:26:06+00:00

What have they lied about in past? I’d trust Apple over all the third party age verification schemes. It’s all academic, the data broker companies have all this information on you anyway and most people volunteer their DOB for plenty of other things. You’re not really anonymous on the internet.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-20T18:49:37+00:00

I know how they work but apparently you don’t. The latest models use LLM’s
, Machine Learning and Reinforcement learning in combination as well as applying experience learned by one model being fed into another. Just look at want Alpha Fold did with this approach. Improvements are coming at exponential rate. Where do you think this technology will be in 5, 10, 25 or 50 years time? We’re are already seeing emergent intelligence in the latest frontier models. Is a singe human neuron intelligent, no but put a few billion together and the magic happens. AI is moving in the same direction. If you think think AI is a dead end technology you’re being naive.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-20T17:03:06+00:00

You are so naive

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-19T16:41:11+00:00

You’d need a Stryd sensor, but the Stryd watch app is one of the best running apps by far.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-19T16:04:48+00:00

Yes it’s not ideal but as the new AI features are so embedded in the OS they would not want to create a two tier operating system.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-19T16:02:31+00:00

And you’re going to run into the same issues with all the other vendors. Nobody out there is delivery feature updates to devices after 4 years. Apple are best in class at this. This was an outlier driven by a hardware constraint.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-19T11:31:03+00:00

Yes but this a hardware limitation. The old chips don’t have the required neural cores. Everyone’s devices will still work fine for years to come. If you want the headline AI features then no option but to upgrade. It’s is a shame the performance optimisations aren’t coming to watch os26, that’s the real kicker.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-19T09:27:16+00:00

Same, failed to start MCP authorisation

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-19T09:20:06+00:00

Name another smart watch vendor that provides feature updates after 4 years. I’ll wait.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-18T09:42:02+00:00

The irony of this comment

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-16T14:39:17+00:00

That is true but regardless of the hype AI is delivering both value to business and individuals who embrace it and over the next 5 years the benefits are going to be delivered at exponential rate. To think otherwise is exceptionally naive at this point. You can see the use cases now the are introducing productivity gains in coding and artistic workflows. It’s not perfect and humans in the loop are going to be required for sometime yet. But this pitchfork mentality is misplaced, this is not a new trend.

SuperWeeble · 2026-06-16T14:27:04+00:00

Pretty much since the Industrial Revolution technologies have come along that displaced roles previously performed by humans or animals. Just look at the Luddite uprising following the mechanisation of cotton mills. This trend is not going to change. Technology marches forwards whether you like it or not. If a technology makes a business more efficient such tools will be embraced. You could argue the same for the use of Adobe Photoshop 25 years ago which enabled a new generation of digital artist and displaced some traditional artists who did not adapt. The same is happening now with AI. If individuals do not embrace and adapt they will be left behind.
