The mascot of the Mastodon social network

Each user is a member of a specific Mastodon instance (also called a server), which can interoperate as a federated social network, allowing users on different nodes to interact with each other. This is intended to give users the flexibility to select a server whose policies they prefer, but keep access to a larger social network. Mastodon is also part of the Fediverse ensemble of server platforms, which use shared protocols allowing users to also interact with users on other compatible platforms,^[9] such as PeerTube and Friendica.

The Mastodon mascot is an animal with a trunk, resembling a mastodon or mammoth, sometimes depicted using a tablet or smartphone. Messages posted using the software are known as "toots". Mastodon was originally created by Eugen Rochko and announced on Hacker News in October 2016.

What is TPU?
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
TPU stands for 'Thermoplastic Polyurethane' and is often referred to as the bridge between rubbers and plastics. The material appears rubber-like, which means it is very elastic, flexible, and smooth to the touch, but at the same time, it is extremely durable and strong.
It is well known for its applications in wire and cable jacketing, hose and tube, in adhesive and textile coating applications, and as an impact modifier of other polymers. It is also used in high-performance films, such as high impact resistant glass structures.

Apple Watch Series 8 Review: The Best Smartwatch For Almost Everyone

The new, now-midrange Series 8 watch is essentially identical to the Series 7. The iPhone-only smartwatch has a smooth metal body, bright and crisp always-on screen and lasts about 36 hours between charges, including sleep tracking. It is still the most capable of smartwatches.

The Apple Watch Series 8, starting at $399 (£419, AU$629), joins the temperature-sensing wearable pack with a new wrist sensor of its own. Temperature-sensing wearables have been a trend these past few years, from the Fitbit Sense to the Oura Ring, Amazon's Halo band and Samsung's Galaxy Watch 5. A few weeks ago, I got sick and a little ring on my finger let me know my temperature was elevated. So, in my experience, temperature reading isn't just another check-the-box feature.


Also, this isn't the only new Apple Watch. The lower-cost Apple Watch SE and more expensive Apple Watch Ultra make a broad range, going from $249 up to $799 and beyond.

After wearing Apple's latest watch on my wrist for a couple of weeks, the Series 8 looks identical to last year's Apple Watch Series 7 and has most of the same features. New to the 8 is its temperature sensor, along with improved gyroscope and accelerometer motion sensors that are now able to detect car crashes and make SOS calls in the event of an emergency.

I didn't test the car-crash feature, for obvious reasons. And temperature data isn't being used by Apple to calculate deeper insights or health guidance yet, beyond being used to help track ovulation. Both features could very well end up being useful over time, but how useful remains to be seen. But without an upgraded battery life, this watch still doesn't feel ideally suited for overnight sleep and temperature tracking.

This year, Apple announced a record-breaking three new Watches. There's the entry-level Apple Watch SE, the new main Watch, called Series 8 and the high-end Apple Watch Ultra which is aimed mostly at devotees of extreme sports.

It's clearly the most advanced Watch but if, like me, you're happy with swimming and yoga rather than rock climbing or other advanced exertions, then maybe Series 8 is what you should be considering.

I've been testing Series 8 since just after it was announced. Here's all you need to know.
