@Final do you still think IMEI editing is not real for Pixels? Think again.

https://hoi.st/posts/2025-03-03-the-graphene-saga-part-3.txt https://hoi.st/docs/own/pixel-6-imei.txt I'm always back with what I promise.

Some salty friends call me "a hermit"... well, if I actually were one, it would have a benefit of living in UTC and not giving a single fuck about the local time changes.

Don't let your life turn into a cloud of hashtags.

I am silent not because I don't have anything to say. I am silent because there's nobody to listen to me here. It's interesting how the words "listen" and "silent" are anagrams.

Is it moral to scam the scammers?

"Your plagiarism will be forgiven, your self-repetition will be forgiven, but if you don't bring any new ideas into this world, they will never forgive you"

Ok, now my triad of watch-related software tools is complete, with Databankr joining the party:

README - rcvd-py - Python 3 port of RCVD project

README - jjy-py - JJY40 emulator in Python

README - databankr - Casio Databank/Telememo record format encoder/decoder

> In 2024, a phone (as well as a paper notebook, for that matter) is much more likely to be searched or confiscated than a cheap Casio digital watch (unless it says F-91W, because, you know... stereotypes). https://hoi.st/posts/2024-05-20-a-look-from-another-side-again.txt

If a programming language is unreadable without syntax highlighting, it's pretty much useless with it as well. #syntaxoff

And... I now have something to sync it with.

My grand finale watch is Citizen PMD56-2951. https://hoi.st/posts/2024-05-13-the-grand-finale-watch.txt

Being a visionary is not enough to get things going. Remember Xanadu? Just as I thought. Because if you did, it would be the bane of your existence.

Is it just me baffled about how many scam exposing videos promote other scams as their sponsorships?

The word "scarcity" sounds like a city of scars. Maybe that's what it really is.

Received my last watch today, and yes, I do plan for it to be the last for me within forseeable future. The phlog post is coming on Monday. I surely am going to have a lot to say about this watch. However, the mere fact that the rechargeable battery there is supposed to last for 20 to 40 years does say something about how quality gadgets really should be made as opposed to what we have on the mass market. Stay tuned.

Modern rule of thumb: avoid any brand, thing, technology, person or movement that has a cult-like following.

A famous saying can now be surely updated: If you think that Bitcoin/Web3/AI/Nostr is the solution, then you don't understand the problem.

I mean, if it was truly censorship-resistant, the files would go to the note body itself, not to a third-party uploader service.

Censorship-resistant, you say?

For the context, the previous post was about Citizen PMD56-2951 I still haven't got, but I have got a Pixel Tablet and the first thing I did was installing GrapheneOS on it. Luckily, this is the instance where there's no IMEI to change and where rooting isn't so relevant for me.
