This is just a collection of links that have been sitting in my drafts to post for quite some time. I figured I’ll never get to them, but they interested me enough to save them so I wanted to save them for posterity.

🔗 A Real Smart Watch brooksreview.net Ben Brooks:
Standing up, as much as you think it does something, doesn’t do jack shit for extending your life. But congrats on hitting those rings and goals. What would be better: using your computer or device less, but yeah that really is not good for sales, right?
I disagree with a lot of this.
🔗 How Vantablack, the darkest material ever, can take gaming to a new level www.digitaltrends.com Luke Dormehl:
Since its invention in 2014, Vantablack has expanded beyond its original mission brief as a material for use in calibrating the cameras for satellites in orbit. Earlier this year, a version of the material called VBx2 was used to paint the outside of a large pavilion in South Korea for the Winter Olympics. This marked a major turning point.
A truly dark movie theater, for example? The next generation of ultra-immersive video arcades? Heck, a hotel room with real blackout blinds? “[We’re interested in clever applications in different areas where it’s designed to deliver maximum impact for people to experience,” Jensen said. “I think this has a whole lot of potential.”
