Also, it’s more and more clear that it’s a bad idea that websites can just execute arbitrary code. The JS APIs are way too powerful and complex nowadays.

Javascript in general was a mistake, and always has been.

The web should’ve had Scheme or Python instead. Or better yet, we shouldn’t have given up so quickly on Java Web Start because then we could’ve had proper web applications with their own windows and native UIs and such.

Maybe websites and apps should’ve stayed separate concepts instead of merging into “web apps”.

Damn straight!

You’re just saying that because Trump wants Greenland.

(Seriously though, this timeline is stupid enough that there’s a non-zero chance Trump really does use “Denmark is h4XX0rz our routers” as a casus bellum.)

You put an Arduino-compatible microcontroller on a custom PCB, obviously. A QFN package ATTiny is like 4mm square.

It’ll all be SMT parts if you want it to be watch-sized, so you’ll have to let JLCPCB or whoever assemble the board for you instead of soldering it yourself, but it’s surprisingly accessible to random hobbyists these days.

Yep. I’m stuck driving cars from the mid-2000s at the latest because it’s a deal-breaker for me.

I’d love to have an electric car, but because they’re all newer than that (except for some really rare compliance/fleet-only cars from the '90s with NiMH batteries, like the Ford Ranger and first-gen RAV4), I’d have to convert an ICE car to electric myself.

Meth-laced Adderall

Oh no, the amphetamine was contaminated with amphetamine! 🙄

I’m aware that meth and Adderall aren’t the exact same chemical, but this isn’t like putting carfentanyl in heroin. “Laced” is some sensationalized bullshit.
