There's a case [1] for the Apple Watch that turns it into an 'iPod'. It's also quite similar to the Pod Case concept [2].

Oh that is kinda cool. Now I really want one

Considering how long it has been I don't think we will ever see a Cloud Key Gen 3/3+.

Ubiquiti's Cloud Gateway Max or Fiber seems to be the modern replacement since they do the job of the Cloud Key while also serving as your router and firewall.

In the UK, banks like Starling, Monzo and Revolut (and building societies such as Nationwide) have added a call status feature in their apps [0][1][2] that tells you if they are actually the ones calling.

Yeah, this is a no brainer (and I think most banks let you verify via the app rather than personal info) to avoid the annoying uncertainty (but note my mother would not be able to handle that I expect)

DVIO [0] and WinDV [1] would be the closest equivalents to dvgrab on Windows. Both are super easy to use (especially the former).

For HD DV tapes there's also HDVSplit [2].

In the UK all delivery apps [0][1][2] will prompt the driver/rider to ask for ID when the customer purchases age-restricted items like alcohol or cigarettes.

I am not sure why the apps don't get the customer to upload a photo of their ID once rather than get the delivery person to request it for every restricted order?

It wastes so much time:

Well, yeah, they ask to see ID, but they don't scan it. (I'm in the US though.)

According to their FAQ, Nook is WebKit-based.

Oops I misunderstood, I thought the fact that it ran chrome extensions meant it was chromium based. Thanks.

There was a car dealer in the UK that had a buy one, get one free offer on the Dodge Avenger SXT in 2008. [0] Apparently there are only 107 left of that particular model on UK roads, with a further 36 cars classed as 'SORN' [1][2]. I reckon the latter are being used for parts.

One of the easiest ways to do this is to use a HDMI display emulator [0]. Set the resolution to 1920x1080, move the content or presentation you want to share to the 'ghost' monitor and then share the entire second screen in your meeting app [1].

I honestly don't know if I want to be delighted or horrified by the need of a physical hack to trick your OS that there is a virtual monitor to share

Could the pool owners simply stick a hot and cold tap at one end and claim it is a large bath and not a swimming pool to avoid paying the tax? :)

Wendover Productions posted an interesting train-related video recently.

It would appear that the issues with Amtrak can be traced back to freight rail as well. See 07:46 onwards for more details.

Very interesting, indeed. The issues in this video with the track issues ... what a shitshow.
