@PawelK a fresh watch spring and perhaps a jewel due to how it acts.

@PawelK No worries, I've already checked.

@PawelK it was just a question about a Russian watchmaker. I wouldn't be caught wearing Oligarch jewelry so I would rather have a CCCP labeled Paketa than a new one.

@PawelK I'm only asking because I want to know if Paketa still carries parts for the CCCP era watches. I have one that I want to get working well again. I assumed it was not bougie trash and I was chopping wood with it on.

@PawelK Are you really Polish?

@PawelK I don't read much outside of research. I don't really care about what I means to be human. Weir zun die roboter.

@PawelK It doesn't stop me from walking into traffic or breaking bones in my toes from a coffee table. At least I have a weird pain tolerance lol. I set them myself and wrapped them with a splint. I went back to work after that.

@PawelK Increased surface area by about 100 units. More nerves going back to the brain and allowing more throughput.

@PawelK I'm HFA. I can sense rpms from vibrations and I do have some degree of echolocation. All my senses are hypersensitive. This is why I only use certain pens.

@PawelK Something similar could be used for reading at a faster pace than braille. Perhaps it could become sensitive enough to where they could play video games.

@PawelK So 360 degree vision sensing with just lidar. It could be made more complex st object detection could be integrated. They could feel the various sights in the same direction or sense moving objects and speed by the feedback. A tactile vest would allow for a large portion of their body to be used in place of natural vision.

@PawelK The area around the person could be mapped and communicated back as a series of sensations in each direction. It would be crude but a blind person could feel what other see.

@PawelK It wasn't a good movie.

@PawelK @lupyuen Think about how the eardrum works. There is the membrane, bone and nerve. I think scientists used a simple tapping method to get the bone to move via kinetic energy and the nerves picked it up.

@PawelK There is much more that could be done than this. Did you ever see Daredevil the movie? Echolocation has been noted among some blind people. Low power lidar could be used as a navigation aid. Self contained and Roombas have been using it for years.

@PawelK @lupyuen The us military had a system decades ago that was integrated into helmets that allowed for silent communication by bypassing the eardrum. This was so they could retain their hearing and not have audible sound.

@PawelK @lupyuen No I'm interested now. I just think that a more integrated solution would work better.

@PawelK Legally blind or completely blind?

@PawelK @lupyuen I can probably help to find the datasheets. This is not something that I could start up immediately. I'm interested in it but I don't have the device. Someone close to me has cancer and I've known about it for a couple of months now. I didn't know that it was Stage 3-4 Cancer.

@PawelK @lupyuen I've got a few things going on currently so I can't really take it on. I've started with the Cube and it's binaries, I have picked up a development job that was left uncompleted and I want to find out why the Pine Something SX1276 isn't working properly.
I would enjoy it if I had the time and hardware in hand. What do you mean by hardware RE? Schematics?
