Wasn't there some way to fingerprint typewriters as well based on yhe exact shape of the letter stencils? I vaguely remember something like that being an actual thing for solving crimes

I love the last response
Fehlt noch die Newsletteranfrage die erst kommt nachdem du seit 10 Sekunden auf der Seite bist und die dich deshalb mitten im Satz unterbricht
Yes, but the question was about the search history which is not saved when you exit incognito
I have a couple ideas though I'm not sure how good they would actually be. I guess anything you use for a hobby or are interested in could be used.
A 3D printer was already mentioned but would probably be the most fascinating (and bulky) thing I could bring. In that case I would probably talk about the workflow that goes into making a part, what to look out for when printing and how a print is actually made.
For simpler stuff I have 2 ideas. Firstly, I am kind of fascinated by pocket watches and have one that belonged to my great grandfather or something and is probably ~100 years old at this point. My grandmother gave it to me on my 18th birthday. The scale of the parts inside such a watch and how they work really interests me but I don't dare take any of the watches I have apart since the parts are so small (though still larger than modern mechanical wrist watches). Did you know there are so called "railroad grade" pocket watches? They were used by train conductors and had to have a certain minimum accuracy since time differences in planning could otherwise lead to train collissions.
The second small thing I could talk a bit about are fountain pens. For that I also have an older pen (A Pelikan 140 which was manufactured some time in the 50s or 60s) which is a piston filler pen, meaning it requires using ink bottles to refill. This allows usage of some really nice looking inks. Interestingly, the color of the ink on the paper can vary greatly depending on various parts of the pen (Nib thickness or the feed of the pen impacting the wetness) and the paper which may be more or less absorbant. I have a nice green ink which will have a red shimmer on wetter line parts if I use the correct paper. On other paper types it is just green.
At this point I'd settle on a car that isn't spying on me, doesn't download updates without my permission and only uses wireless connectivity for navigation and connection to my phone
Whenever I eat at burger king or McDonald's (which is almost never) I have to download their stupid apps for the coupons because without a 2 for 1 coupon the prices are just ridiculous for what you get. Actually, nevermind. The prices are still ridiculous even with the coupon
I saw some skull and bones vs ac black flag comparison videos and am now getting mildly interested in the game as well
It may be on the decline but I can't see it going anywhere in embedded any time soon. Not sure I'd want to develop for desktop with it though
That's a Mistborn reference isn't it? That sentence seems familiar
Definitely not although I can recommend that series for fans of young adult fantasy books
