I actually know several people who regularly visit the 3C with their families and children. There are a lot of cool activities for kids from a certain age (10-ish). Even without all the social programm, there are plenty of talks which are interesting to non-IT people.
I own a GW-M5610U G-Shock. It's the bread and butter G-Shock, which comes with solar, radio control, and the old-school red bezel. No Bluetooth, no tracking, no connectivity.
Like many people I know, I went from Apple Watch to a "dumb" Casio, as an escape from the attention grabbing information gateway on my wrist. It was surprisingly easy to leave smart and tracking features behind.
Having a dumb watch also enables me to leave my smartphone in the backpack and checking the time whithout seeing how many messages I got. And since I don't have to charge my watch and it's virtually indestructible, I can forget about it unless I want to know the time, start a timer, set an alarm etc.
I feel like this was the single most important move to switch from devices which are controlling me, back to me controlling my devices.
I'm thinking of doing the same. I got a Samsung Watch FE a couple of years ago and the only reason I used it was for the heart rate monitor and sleep tracking. But it's a hassle having to recharge it every day, so I'm willing to move to a OG Casio again.
Ah, I can see! The dots mark years (not OSs) since multiple OSs might use the same color in the same release year. However, you're totally right: the tooltip is dearly missing since it would make just that obvious - and also a default action when clicking a dot.
Thanks! I didn't use any screenshots as sources, because I a) wanted to scrape all possible options, b) want to make sure the default is really what you would get after a fresh install and c) was afraid that a screenshot might introduce some kind of color drift, compared to the original value the OS defines.
I mostly used things like the fantastic Virtual OS Museum (https://virtualosmuseum.org/), run-in-browser VMs like PCJs Machines (https://www.pcjs.org/blog/2015/09/21/) or real installations inside a VM. I tried to avoid using Color Pickers etc. and read the actual value from the OS somehow (e.g. copy the HEX value shown in the UI), but in some cases, I had to go with the macOS Digital Colour Meter (set to sRGB).
Noted. Plan9/Rio was actually on my list for the initial release, but it is currently broken in the Virtual OS Museum (https://virtualosmuseum.org/) and I couldn't find any other reliable sources.
But it's still on the todo list and I've also added NeXTSTEP.
AFAIK, the actual color was highly dependent on the hardware used (e.g. video adapter, CRT, etc.). That's why photographs of a Windows 1.0 screen might look vastly different.
The color I listed is what Windows outputs on the software side. It's pretty much an EGA dither of bright cyan and bright green. It's what you would get with todays hardware.
