Back in 2012, when reddit wasn’t as shit as now, Aaron Swarz was still alive and u/spez was somewhere in the rainforest, I got one of the coolest design watches I’ve encountered until then, a “timescale” watch, showing time like a bathroom scale would. And no, I didn’t pay 100 bucks for it, I got in on sale for about $30.

Looking back now and seeing the shit that reddit has become, I’m kinda sad I didn’t get the plain “redditless” one without the logo, or the completely black version. It is what it is. Pics below because it’s still a nice watch.

Heh, memories.

PS: guess I re-invented the time virtual machine

If you’re a company, you want your trade secrets to be hidden. If you’re a government authority, that’s even more important. Here’s how a local council in Romania is redacting its documents, with white boxes over the document’s text, allowing the text selection and copying.

Fun.
