I don’t understand how you can say a smart watch isn’t, on top of all the smart features, also the best watch there is when it comes to keeping time. It keeps perfect time, always, even over DST changes, even when you change time zones. You never even have to set them!
Also your Apple Watch is defective if you have to charge it all night. I’m up to my third, I always wear it while I sleep, I only charge it when I’m getting ready for bed or getting ready in the morning, and the battery never runs out.
There’s keeping time, and then there’s keeping time without me babying it making sure it never dies, but yes having an internet uplink is a very good way to be on time to the second.
I also like the GShock G-LIDE with Bluetooth to set the time from the phones, but then you can put the watch on airplane mode and not worry about it for a few years. It adjusted for DST without uplink by knowing the date and location. It’s got sunrise and sunset without internet too.
I watched the whole video and there is no heartbeat sound, which is what I was expecting as well. I think that they recorded the signal, not the sound that the heart makes when pumping blood.
This is very cool! And I say that as someone who was in iCE in the early 1990s ;)
The baud scrolling and SAUCE support are nicely done, and "drag a zip here" is top-tier magic, though when I tried dragging in an old iCE pack's zip file, it only showed one ANSI inside there; I was expecting a file picker.
Feature suggestions: "Show invisible text" toggle and an option to switch between 16-color background mode and 8-color background mode with blink support. You're already parsing the SAUCE which has an "iCE colors" boolean; you can use this to control the default for the latter setting.
The clickbait title refers to a day in fall 1995 when a Random House editor was told by his boss that the business could no longer afford to publish modestly-selling books (~10,000-40,000 copies), marking the moment when corporate scale killed the old risk-taking culture of publishing.
