You can carefully crack open a golf ball to reveal a decent bouncy-ball.
From memory, I think it is a weighted core, wrapped in a long thin strand of rubber.
Glue the rubber strand to stop it unravelling and it should be good.
(Crack open carefully means with a vice and a hacksaw, rather than using any knife)

- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 1 month ago:
The FOSS app GadgetBridge, has a number of supported smartwatches.
Supported watches can sync your health, activity, GPS, heart, O2, sleep data to GadgetBridge locally on your phone, instead of sending it online to who knows where.
May need to use the watches app to set it up, but then all happens locally.

- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 3 months ago:
These LLM-page-summaries need to be contained and linked, completely separately, in something like llm.wikipedia.org or ai.wikipedia.org.
In a possible future case, that a few LLM hallucinations have been uncovered in these summaries, it would cast doubts about the accuracy of all page content in the project.
Keep the generated-summaries visibly distinct from user created content.
