Was gifted Watchy by SQFMI recently and having a ton of fun playing around with various watchfaces! I use the 7segmented display with temperature and steps info as my primary display. It pulls weather info from a free OpenWeatherMaps API key at 15minute intervals using onboard wifi. Bluetooth us available but as yet unusabke due to lack of proper support and no univeesal Bluetooth protocols. Plan to make my own watchface which can show all this info along with 2 other timezones on the home screen. The "watch" is basically an ESP32 based SBC with an RTC, pedometer, accelerometer and a vibration motor underneath a 200x200 1.54in e-ink display and a 200mAh LiPo in a plastic case. Not that dissimilar from other open source smartwatch projects (banglejs, Paul's Open Smartwatch and many others), but it's one of the most cost effective ones.
Learning C++ is tough but very insightful, comong from R and Python background.
Their GameBoy Advanced cases look very good, although I will probably just 3D print one and purchase an anodized aluminum one:

Also check out SQFMI BeepBerry for those who are fans of the BlackBerry design, or just want a pocket sized Pi - https://beepberry.sqfmi.com/
I believe at least one of the founders of SQFMI is the same as Pebble's founder, hence the deja vu

I don't think it's available locally but the watch is $59 and $5 or $8 in shipping. Even with 30% customs it will be under $100 worst case. I'm lucky enough to be in the US, but might take bulk orders for TE when I come back to India

Sunday haul. Mech keyboards are a wormhole. There's always something new and exciting.
Picked this up, since my Ultrasharp panel started dying 4 months after the 5 year premium panel warranty ended. Shit luck, i guess. First time an Ultrasharp panel has died on me like this.

Learnt a little about Proxmox's API Tokens, working with global variables and timestamps in RouterOS and now I have safe shutdowns with notifications over Telegram.

Based on the detailed 7 segment watch face, designing my own to incorporate multiple time zones. This feature would finally make it an able replacement for my 10 year old Casio AE-1000W.Was gifted Watchy by SQFMI recently and having a ton of fun playing around with various watchfaces!

Pic 1: Mockup in pdn of how it is supposed to look ("5280" is the placeholder for second time zone, and the "JUN" below the second clock is placeholder for time zone name)
Pic 2: Design in progress. Mostly done with the revised design, now just need to add the second time-zone and write a function to be able to switch between multiple secondary time zones. Thanks to Wi-Fi sync, no need to adjust for DST manually or to keep track of time drifting! Weather is synced from free OpenWeatherMaps API every 15mins as before.
Also, if not for ChatGPT, I would have never figured any of this out on my own.
Credit to GuruSR for providing a fantastic software for this watch!

Finally got hold of some Lego sets I had been eyeing:
Lego Pac-man arcade replica, The Office and Creator Taxi (goes well with Lego Tuk Tuk):
The Pac-Man is HUGE and HEAVY, and the crank on the side essentially loops the Pac-man and ghosts like in an arcade game. Pac-man and ghosts can be displayed separately, and they change orientation (Pac-man chasing the ghosts) at the click of a button:
The Office, of course, because who doesn't love Dunder Mifflin and Michael Scott and Pam and Jim and Dwight and Erin and Andy.

Finally done! Yet to add switching between multiple timezones but that and more is (hopefully) coming soon

Bathyal CNC anodized aluminium case for the Watchy - very slim and premium feeling (apart from the strap) but need to figure out a way to protect the screen

Got it from Justwatches.com @ 50% discount. Unfortunately the dial was not aligned with the Roman numerals. On it's way back now.

While I was installing the anti sag bracket, another item got delivered!
Presenting MSI A1000G PCIE 5 PSU
And it was definitely my RM750 at fault. Before OCCT use to crash on 0 sec itself.
Had a safe test for 30 mins and no issue, no restart!
