⌚ Watches that don't tell the time: the case of the Mi' Band
Caution
The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.
In today’s world, with modern technology, we are truly absurd.
Many consumer electronics objects have evolved so much over the years, changing shape so strongly, that they no longer even respect the key points on which their very existence is based.
After smartphones, phones so advanced that in some cases they had problems making and receiving phone calls (and therefore they turned on and didn’t make calls, who knows, who knows), it was only a matter of time before we started to see watches that don’t make watches.

📡️ Mixed Technology Collection
Caution
The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.
Perhaps the strangest page I’ve done so far. Here, I have to catalog all the weirdest technology, and various accessories, that I own, for future reference, realize how much rubbish I have, and perhaps guarantee myself a chance to gain world control. Input HID HID is short for Human Interface Device, an umbrella term that is a computer device that takes data input from users, or returns something as output.

☣️ The unsolvable ugliness of the Nintendo Switch dock (Part I)
Caution
The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.
Note: This article should have first explained the Switch dock issues, but then continued and ended with >total development of my alternative solution. The first part was quite long, however, and I'm afraid that it might eclipse the really important part, that of my dangerously original solution. So, in this article I only talk about my problems; what comes out later will be dedicated to my do-it-yourself.

Rice Collection - or, to put it more correctly, collection of my ricing: interface customizations made to my operating systems.

⚡️ Quick Blogging with Standard Notes
Caution
The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.
I’ve been using Standard Notes as my personal notes app for a long time now.
Years ago I chose it for its being free and open-source, but at the same time very clean, tidy, and functional. It was a perfect fit at a time when I was looking for something that supported data encryption that works, without affecting usability.

🎮 Ancient history of DSpacc
Caution
The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.
Almost two months ago, the DSpacc came to mind somewhat by chance; first as a concept, talking about it with people online, and then directly as the little object that I proudly own.
This thing of mine has seen dust, glory, war, and despair. This is exactly what I should have talked about today, what I did recently to remove some dust and thus bring my device back to glory.

👾 NDS emulation, Google Play, and a dark history
Caution
The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.
The Nintendo DS. Enough, there’s no need to say anything else; after all, among connoisseurs, we understand each other. A console that, 15 years ago, was able to innovate the market with the same spirit with which the Gameboy innovated in its time. A console whose exclusives remain, even today, timeless pearls.

💻 How I fixed my laptop (with €25)
Caution
The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.
For almost 7 years I have had an Acer laptop, Aspire V3-572G, undoubtedly now a bit old, without praise and with some infamy.
When it was purchased, it was essentially a mid-range notebook like any other, without any notable features. I mean, I used it quite a bit and it more or less always did what it was supposed to, until about 2 years ago I started demanding to use heavy games and development tools, at which point the new (desktop) PC was great.

⌨️ The idea of a homemade physical smartphone keyboard
Caution
The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.
Maybe a year ago, partly out of curiosity and partly because I already imagined that it might have been something convenient, I developed a marginal interest in smartphones equipped with complete physical keyboards.
I don’t mean the damn numeric keypads, which you still see on non-smart phones today, I mean keyboards with dozens of individual keys dedicated for letters and symbols.

A few months ago I bought a small monocrystalline solar panel online, with dimensions similar to those of an A4 sheet, for the figure of around €20 (on Amazon.it the sellers are all thieves, on Aliexpress it would have cost a little less).

The unexpected advantages of the Linux stick
Caution
The content of this page has been entirely machine-translated into English, from Italiano. Therefore, it might contain any kind of errors.
One thing I did months ago that, so far, has proven to be a winning choice, was install a Linux-based operating system, in persistent mode, * on* a small USB stick.
The reasons why I wanted to do it initially are perhaps simple and banal, but it gave me, upon careful analysis, some unexpected advantages that were much more than welcome.
