Receipts, for the curious and/or skeptical.

Identity coming to Apple Wallet in iOS 15. TSA and US DL scanning. #WWDC21 Q: do we want big tech managing our identity for us?

@aaronpk Btw I can confirm that even an old Raspberry Pi 2B can totally do RTMP to HDMI bridging. Uses about 12% CPU with 1080p60 h.264 high profile 4500 kbps, with no more latency than the 4B. I streamed to both in parallel to test, no difference.

This is also an XS, but for conferences it doesn’t matter really, because the phone’s cam quality isn’t the bottleneck. Showing off a nice forest/garden background to all the office-sitters totally makes up for it ;)

@aaronpk Saw your “more minimal setup” for video conferences. Here’s my take, without even a laptop. Using the phone’s cam+mike for the actual conference, having the iPad completely free to work during the conference. Custom 3d-printed stand for both together.

in my quest to invest in an alternative asset in every state i am drawn to liquor companies… it just seems like a good business! Lucky Sign Spirits Distillery is my first investment in Pennsylvania https://app.honeycombcredit.com/projects/12353-Lucky-Sign-Distillery

No vibration motor. Only a singular piezo beep. Also doesn't actually show content of a message, really just a high level info with an icon for the type. I do not use mine for notifications at all. I just wanted a digital watch that happened to track HR, steps, and sleep.

Actually it appears Zepp will directly connect to Apple Health. https://support.zepp.com/us/faq/170

I've had mine since March and it's been pretty great so far. I have questioned 'jail breaking' it to use gadgetbridge instead of zepp, but I haven't been bothered to as of yet.

this tweet was brought to you by me being frustrated at my Fitbit watch and realizing the only thing I really want a watch to do is tell time and be a calculator, neither of which the Fitbit does well

So yeah, I replied to your other tweet before seeing this. FYI I do have one of these and it's perfect.

TIL you can still buy Casio calculator watches on Amazon, but they are "vintage" now

Well it wouldn't be liveestreaming if my computer didn't crash and everything stopped working 10 minutes before I hit live right? 🤣

Also, there's an epic 44 second ASMR unboxing in it. You're welcome 😝
