Wristwatch USB Drive

Posted by timothy on from the batman-batman dept.

    Made it look nice? With that honking USB connector wrapped around the wrist strap? Why not brand the word "NERD" across your forehead?

    I wouldn't hold my breath for it. Using Bluetooth will require some serious battery power
    All they need to do is make the watch using those kinetic self-winding mechanisms in it. I gather from the first 100 beating-off-to-porn posts, no slashdotter would have to worry about power again.

    It's incredibly easy to set up a USB drive in Linux.

    1. Compile USB support into your kernel.
    2. Reboot.
    3. Become root.
    4. Create a mount point.
    5. Give your non-privileged user rights to access that mount point.
    6. Insert the USB drive.
    7. Figure out the device number that it has been assigned.
    8. Mount the drive.

    Linux is the easiest, most intuitive operating system out there. No other OS comes close.
