is the casio mrw200h discontinued?
In my last post, I said how a dive style watch is literally the absolute easiest way to have a quick timer on your person. I also mentioned that the low cost way of getting a watch with that rotating bezel timer is the Casio MRW200H.
Rumors have been going around that the MRW200H is discontinued. Does Casio has a replacement model? I believe they do.
The level of crap I have to go through these days just to be "secure" is all sorts of ridiculous, so much to the point where it gets in the way of trying to get simple things done.
For example, there are a few online accounts I have where I'm required to do this when I want to login:
- Go to site
- Click a "prove you're human" thing or solve a CAPTCHA puzzle
- Enter my username
- Enter my password
- Click a "prove you're human" CAPTCHA thing or solve a CAPTCHA puzzle AGAIN
- Enter a 6-digit code sent as a text message
- Enter another 6-digit code using an authenticator app
...and then I'm finally in? MAYBE. This is assuming I'm not prompted to "remember the browser" and/or "check recent activity" before finally getting into my account.
That's SEVEN TO NINE STEPS just to login to one account.
Is that the most ridiculous? No. There is a different thing that's more ridiculous, even though simpler to access.
About six-and-a-half years ago, I said I would never buy a big watch ever again. I just bought a big watch, the Casio AE1500. I'm glad I did, because this is big done right.
I just finished cleaning up an ungodly amount of content. I'm not talking about removing swear words or anything like that. I mean fixing things that come with the territory of authoring a site for over two decades.
For example, YouTube video embeds. Not only has the embed code itself that YouTube provided changed many times, but a ton of videos are no longer viewable. Videos get deleted, videos are sometimes set to private, YouTube accounts get deleted, YouTube users sometimes get banned for whatever reason. Any of those things can happen to any YouTube video.
If you have a site chock full of content, such as mine, and a ton of your posts have videos that used to work but now don't, that's a problem.
This is the only tissue box design that has made me seriously consider buying a tissue cozy to get away from its ugliness.
