I have hung my usb or flash drives from my neck, my keychain, and even my laptop bags; all of which i never felt safe doing so for reasons i would lose it, or it would get stolen. So I went on to doing what I thought was the impossible, make something I needed.

Even Apple recently released an iWatch which marks a new age in wearable technology -- everyone is constantly on the go, and everyone wants it! KUFF is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX operating systems. :-)

OPEN SOURCE WHAT!!!???!?!?!? YES, KUFF WILL BE FULLY OPEN SOURCE.

It's going to be so much more than a SmartWatch. Fully Open Source, Developers can write anything to launch from a KUFF.

Big and fast raindrops will be blown to a near distance while those small and slow raindrops will be blown to a farther distance. Generally speaking, most raindrops will be blown to 50-70 centimeters away. If two persons are more than two shoulders away from each other, they will not affect each other. Also, nearby pedestrians will also take umbrellas if it is raining heavily. In this way, the rain will not be blown to other pedestrians. If nearby pedestrians do not take umbrella and close, they will be affected more or less, but they will get wet in a rainy day if not taking umbrella anyway.

not only would it be cheap as gently caress but it wouldn't block your wrist movement

alternate option: just stuff your drive in a bag/pocket/purse/whatever like a normal person

did the stuff we released of the hardware assets for Rift DK1 make sense? I don't know which formats are meaningful, but IIRC it's pretty much everything we sent to the assembly process.

firmware and electrical are good (didn't check for a drill file w/ the gerbers, but the altium source is better anyway), but mechanical is just step files

it's like delivering a binary blob or omitting your build scripts. it's enough for someone to chuck it at a 3D printer and get a reasonable facsimile, but it's not the native CAD that a ME would be able to modify

even beyond the native CAD for the objects themselves, if we're setting the bar as "enable a competitor to go directly to manufacture," there's the tool CAD, probably closer to a build script in SW

i'll send you a lecture on the topic if you want to know more from an actual ME
