It's here! Made it to the #Philippines in one piece.
The #SensorWatchPro is a drop-in PCB for the iconic F-91W or A158W created by @joeycastillo (Oddly Specific Objects) with lots of cool features!
It's hackable, programmable, and built to be modular. Just my kind of tech.
Now I just need to decide which of my F-91Ws is going to get the upgrade. 😂

My priorities have always been clear: hackability, repairability, and privacy over convenience and luxury.
So for my wife and I's wedding, I wanted to add a few customizations to my Watchy to celebrate the ocassion. I simply changed some images and added some files to the InkWatchy firmware.
Next step: adding a count-up timer from our wedding date to the main watchface.
This was one of the first gifts that my then-girlfriend-now-wife gave me—maybe as a way to remind me to always give her time (or vice versa). 😁
You know it's been a while because the original battery it came with doesn't hold a charge anymore so I went ahead and opened the watch, changed the battery, reapplied some grease to the o-ring, and gave it a bit of cleaning.
Now we just need to put the correct date and time. 😅
Two things:
1. Shaman King was the first manga I read from start to finish way back in '08. I think I read it on OneManga/MangaReader back then.
2. I always told myself that when I could legitimately buy/own the manga I read, I would.
So here we are. Humble Bundle has a bundle for Shaman King, Noragami, and Fire Force for only ~PhP1700. The epubs are DRM-free so you can read them on any device (e.g. tablet, ereader, PC).

This one needed a bit more TLC as the unit I got (2nd hand, P2800) was missing the metal shields and heatsink. It's not really required but I added a new heatsink + thermal pads to try and squeeze every bit of performance from the tablet. I should also undervolt it but that's for another time.
In any case, this is now a 10-year old tablet that's running Android 13, fully deGoogled, and w/o bloatware.

Here's another victim/beneficiary of our Android upcycling. 😂
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (2014, SM-T800) was my initial target for a multimedia/reading tablet. If you've had this or still rock it, you know why—a 2560x1600 Super AMOLED display, the first on a tablet when it was released. Just look at the difference between it and the LCD display of the SM-T580 (T580 on the left, T800 on the right).

So why upcycle Android instead of just buying new?
1. Minimize ewaste and give purpose to/extend the lifetime of older but working devices.
2. An updated version of Android often means better security (and sometimes better performance).
3. Removal of bloatware, having a deGoogled mobile experience, and more user freedom.
Got an old mobile device? Maybe we can give it new life.

Officially, it supports up to Android 8.1 but after some tinkering, I got it to run Android 13 (Lineage OS 20). It's also fully deGoogled with most of the apps coming from FDroid or sideloaded via APKs.

I've been looking for a tablet to read my comics/manga on and while i could've just bought a new/recent one, there's something about upcycling Android machines that just feels more me. 🤣
So I got this used Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016, model SM-T580) for about P3,500. 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, and a good-enough screen (1920x1200 @224ppi) for a reader/media tablet.

PSA: The Metal Slug Tactics demo is out on Steam and, as with most games these days, it works perfectly out of the box on Linux.
This game has been delayed so much (announced in 2021) but it looks like it will finally be released later this year. Will probably get this on the Switch.
