Treehut as a watch brand

Uncategorized
1 1 3
  • For my fifth wedding anniversary, my wife bought me a Treehut watch and engraved it with a personalized message. The watch band is in fairly bad shape (especially after wearing it day-in day-out in Hawaii for most of a month) and the strap itself is incompatible with anything but itself (boo on them).

    Anyhow I looked into it and found a Reddit thread with these watch afficionados absolutely ripping the shit out of the watch. Calling it trash, $10 quartz, etc.

    But you know what? I own a couple watches... including a decent looking Fossil, and a Timex weekender (the watch to buy first, according to said watch afficionados), and you know what watch gets me the most compliments, by far? (Like 10+ vs 0 for the rest.)

    The treehut "$10 quartz" watch.

    Just funny to think about. Perceived social value vs. demonstrable social value.

    Going on an international trip. I am downloading all the case law I can find about AI and copyright law so I can give the most informed take I can about "how does generative AI affect FOSS projects going forward?"I'm going to focus on US case law first, including reading the recent high profile case that the US Supreme Court declined, but also the US Copyright Office's current analysis.This is important, I think, because right now FOSS projects are moving fast to incorporate, but without anyone really knowing what the outcome will be, there's a great chance that, even on licensing grounds alone, we could be creating a huge mess for FOSS projects.And (unfortunately?) my background in having done FOSS licensing stuff previously as part of my dayjob might mean I can do a pretty good job summarizing. Let's see!If you have case law you think I should read, put it in this thread.

    Algoritmi e strutture dati in TypeScript – Libro gratuito, ~400 pagineQuesto libro nasce da una semplice osservazione: la maggior parte degli ingegneri del software utilizza algoritmi e strutture dati quotidianamente, eppure molti non ne conoscono a fondo i fondamenti. Possono usare una mappa hash o chiamare una funzione di ordinamento senza comprenderne appieno le garanzie, oppure possono avere difficoltà quando un problema richiede la progettazione di un nuovo algoritmo da zero. Allo stesso tempo, gli studenti di informatica spesso si imbattono negli algoritmi in un contesto altamente teorico che può sembrare scollegato dal codice che scrivono nella pratica.https://amoilanen.github.io/Algorithms-with-Typescript/@informatica

    I remember it being massive news when Pebble made moves to resurrect. Now they're trying to forcibly take away the grassroots dev community that kept Pebbles alive after they were abandoned by the original company. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. https://rebble.io/2025/11/17/core-devices-keeps-stealing-our-work.html
