I reverse-engineered all Timex Datalink watches and devices, the Notebook Adapter, and the CRT graphics in Ruby! in c/technology@lemmy.world

Thanks! I'll check it out when my watch gets here. Hopefully, sometime this weekend. I joined the Discord and it looks great! It's really thorough and easy to navigate. I was able to get in touch with one of the original wristapp devs, so I invited them to join the Discord.

EU wants over 70s to prove they can still drive every five years in c/europe@feddit.de

That seems expensive to enforce. It would make more sense for people to be tested every 10 years till age 68, every 5 years till age 78, then every two years after that.

I feel like this makes for a good argument for adequate public transit in the United States. If elderly people had access to public transit, then they might not feel like they are losing their independence if they can't drive.

I feel sorry for women who don't have pockets in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Why do you need so many pockets? All you need are keys, phone, and wallet. Jeans look better than cargo pants.

Thanks for the info! I will start tinkering with it at soon as it gets here. I would highly recommend savings the apps somewhere so that they don't get lost to time.

I found these old websites when I was looking for information on the watches. Only two of them are still up. The Yahoo forum for the Datalink had 6000 members, but all the information is gone now.

I assume you probably already found this stuff, but I just thought it was interesting.

The gold Timex Datalink 150, like the one you have in the first 2 pictures. Both your watches look really nice! I also went ahead and bought a couple Raspberry Pi Picos to use as adapters.
