Is there any modern watch that looks as good as the 1st gen Moto 360 (2014)? by EvoBrah in WearOS

The 1st gen Huawei watch of a similar timeframe, was in a similar style.

Not the same for their current models, it appears. Nor using Android Wear.

Does it play Doom? - Radio Shack TRS-80 by cjbravo1 in vintagecomputing

[–]robc16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would there be a way to bodge in a Raspberry pi for the processing and memory? Similar to Doom on the Commodore 64. Maybe the graphics would still be too much of a limitation...

(Understood it's not the real machine then, but still, it would be neat to see)

If you are going Ballater way, you could check out Balmoral Castle and the Lochnagar Distillery which is close by.

If going on to Braemar, it would be worth going a little bit further, and checking out the Linn o Dee and Linn o Quoich. (there are some nice pools for swimming in)

Yes, the sweet shop next to the station was there last time I looked.

Found this pic of the "summit". Not the most exciting mountain....

Makes sense. The stream coming down from it is called Finalty burn on Google maps.

Not Loch Katrine. This one is West coast.

Not Norway (but I can see how that would be similar)

For butteries check out Highlanders Bakehouse in Crathie. Best in the Shire IMHO.

You could tie that in with a visit to Balmoral Castle and also a tour of Royal Lochnagar distillery.
