That ankle thing looks really silly when you can just buy a nice compass that would fit in your pocket. That product seems like it was made for a highly specific type of user. Where did you find this at? Also who would this even be made for?

>>118The technology will get smaller in time. I get the feeling it's more proof-of-concept at the moment, though they do sell DIY kits so you can make your own. Lepht Anonym talked about creating an implanted version of it called the South Paw, which is the logical extreme the concept can be taken to.
I found it by googling "North Paw," by the way. It was literally the first result that showed up.

>>119I didn't mean how do you find it. I'm asking how did you even stumble across the product in the first place. Were you just googling random phrases?

>>118Its awesome tbh, a smaller one would be great but I love the look of this one.
knowing north all the time would make my life a lot easier when moving round,
imagine if you could connect to it and use it with navigation software.

>>120Like I said, Lephy Anonym talked about creating an implantable version of it called the South Paw in a video of the 27th Chaos Communication Congress, so I got curious and decided to Google what the original was.
Look it up on Youtube if you want to see the whole thing (it's split up into three parts). I uploaded a condensed version of it to the "BIOHACKING/GRINDING GENERAL" thread I posted a little bit ago, but it doesn't contain the specific mention of the Northpaw.

Never found the use of a wearable to very convenient. With my phone on me at all times, to have a other device just to control and view the basics seems very tedious. I could imagine getting one once technology allows them to be act on its own, without a phone only needed to link when it comes to texting, phone calls, etc.

>>117I use a Casio F-91W but I have opened it up to put a small NFC chip capable of doing NDEF (storing soykaf for android, basically). I'm using it for my phone number right now, but not much else. Thinking of ideas that I could use it for.

Just a $50 casio solar runner's watch. Not hackable, not homemade, not cool. But it's a totally standalone zero maintenance gadget. No apps, no bluetooth, no online accounts or step tracking or any nonsense. It tells time and counts down and counts up, and I never need to charge it because six hours in the sun keeps it running for a year. I literally never need to think about it. I love that thing.

Literally nothing because minute-level precision of time is mostly useful to interact with societal constructs or for industrial processes. Survivalism doesn't have time to waste (heh) with such timing constraints.
