Reminder: Wear a helmet! in c/[email protected]

The AGV K1 looks like a motorcycle helmet. Would you wear something that heavy duty for commuting on a 20-30mph scooter/e-bike? Or is there something else a little more lightweight?

Sounds like a waste of time in c/[email protected]

I once made a belt from old watches, now THAT was a waist of time.

From the article, in case anyone is interested in current timing or trajectory.

Its center could come ashore Wednesday in the Tampa Bay area, and it could remain a hurricane as it moves across central Florida toward the Atlantic Ocean.

Neat idea, thanks for sharing.

Could you explain your Xbox setup a little more? Are you playing Xbox using cloud gaming or is it Direct Play from the console? And do you and the kids have separate gamer tags/accounts?

I tried playing Forza on Cloud a while back, but found it lagged too much for me. But when you Direct Play, can your kids still play another game on the same console?

I'm on mobile, so I don't think anything will change for me, but I'm all for the change if it works for others.

Johnny Gaudreau (and his brother Matt) have died.

No other details have been released yet, just that it was an "accident".

Just received my PineTime (lemmy.zip)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/18591166

Ordered a PineTime (and a Pinecil) direct on 6/26/2024, it shipped from China on 6/28 and I received it today 7/5. I'm on the west coast of the US and I'm really impressed with the shipping time.

Charged it a bit, then updated to the current InfiniTime 1.14.

Bootloader is still at 1.0.0, there hasn't been any updates for that, right?

It also says to update the recovery firmware, but I don't see which version I'm currently on and couldn't find an updated version.

Otherwise, it seems nice so far. I'm on Android and setting up with GadgetBridge wasn't difficult (since I knew to pair directly from GB and not using the phones BTW pairing).

Forza Horizon 4 is being removed from sale because of expiring licenses, but at least it'll keep running after it's gone (www.pcgamer.com)
 

Looks like they already de-listed the Hot Wheels DLC pack, so the only way I found to purchase it was from a code site like Eneba. Wish they had given us a little warning first.
