Hasta La Gadget!

Want your kids to get maximum candy this Halloween? Make something like this Mechwarrior costume, and they’ll intimidate every house into filling their trick or treat bag to the brim. This awesome kid’s mech costume was built by YouTuber Griddlock Cosplay for his kids, nieces, and nephews to show off at the Edmonton Comic Expo 2018.

This model is a Stalker J1 Mechwarrior. It can’t kill you, but it does look deadly. It has a “fully functional” cockpit, with a joystick for “navigation and control,” a cabin light, and there is even a cooling fan and a padded seat for a comfortable ride. It has a decorative 5-barrel minigun, working headlights, and a non-functional spinning radar.

The costume hides dad inside, so he can carry around one kid at a time. It looks like it probably has a lot of room on board to store all of that candy too. This will be the best costume in the neighborhood and will win you and your kids some prizes during costume contests as well.

When Apple announced the Apple Watch Series 4, one of the features of the smartwatch is the built-in ECG monitoring tool. However Apple did note that the feature will not be available at launch and will arrive at a later date. It was also mentioned that it will be limited to the US, presumably due to regulatory clearances required for different regions and markets.

However according to a report from 9to5Mac’s Guilherme Rambo, it seems that you can “trick” the Apple Watch into enabling the ECG feature even if you’re not in the US, and it is as simple as changing your region to the United States. Given that the Apple Watch Series 4 comes with the ECG monitor built into the watch, it is not a hardware limitation which means that in theory changing your region could be all it takes to unlock the feature.

However as Rambo notes, changing your region could mean changing other settings too, like your date and time formats, units of measurements, and so on, so that’s something to consider. Note that the ECG tool has yet to be enabled and this report is based purely on looking at the code, which means that it is possible that maybe Apple could make changes at a later date that might make it harder to circumvent it since we’re sure that local governments might not be too pleased about Apple introducing a medical device without the proper clearance.

That being said, it was previously suggested that clearance by local regulators could take a while which means that if you don’t live in the US, maybe you might want to consider the Series 3 which is cheaper, unless there are other features of the Series 4 that you want besides the ECG monitor.
