There's a bicycle tour I've ridden almost a dozen times. Two of the regulars are a young Amish woman and her aunt. They ride in ankle-length dresses without any apparent difficulty. Their high-tech helmets and cycling shoes seem incongrous.

Got to get me some of them 'Rose Tinted Specs'... As I recall it was more like hitting yourself over the head with a unicycle.

I'm surprised at how long the bike is able to freewheel round in a circle when she's standing on the saddle and not pedalling

Fascinating.
And, thanks for the Marcus Aurelius quote. I haven’t read Meditations in almost 20 years. Guess I need to pick it up again.
I had to recognize that I am only the expression and symbol of the soul

Time is the differentiation of eternity devised by man to measure the passage of human events.

Ah the good ol' times. Not so long ago I used a C++ 2003 compliant (or at least '98) compiler from Codewarrior to build games on a Nintendo DS, with only 4MB of ram. Unlike what the C++ core pushes you do to do, the use of the standard library was not an option if you wanted to keep within speed and memory tolerance. Templates were all but forbidden (waste of clock cycles they would say). By and far we mostly coded as if it were C and ARM32 assembler only. We did use objects but only for the advantages objects in C would offer (generic programming, the boost library and all the present day fanciness was unheard of). We built our own everything (anything GPL'd was strictly forbidden by Nintendo).
Yet I don't see why I would ever abandon such practices, for videogames. Security (outside of the usual network encryptions) is still highly overrated in these "electronic toys" (the saying goes "if they can hack it to enhance their fun, more power to them")

I spent 5 minutes wondering who thought adding bluetooth to a b***plug was a good idea to start with ... 
I used to do an occasional series about daft IoT devices but that's the first I heard of any of those three hackable "devices" ...

There are ~7.8 billion people on the planet. If any activity to do with sex is physically possible, I'm sure that there is at least one person who has tried it.

For some people that's probably part of the appeal. It takes all kinds.

Depending upon the kind and the context, that can a concept to embrace with delight or abhor in disgust.
Which, come to think of it, is a description that is essentially a self-referential commentary.
ITAK should become as popular as LOL

So then, you won't mind uploading it to a public share where we can all download it without providing an email address?
Otherwise, no, it's NOT free - the cost is getting your email address added to their phishing database.
