There is a long and storied history of whistles for protection. Ancient Egyptian guards used to place a blade of grass between the thumbs to alert other guards of issues that were transpiring. Later, shells were used to the same end. In China, acorns with holes drilled in them were used similarly.
As a dedicated instrument, whistles have been made of wood, bone, metal, and later, plastics. British bobbies have used whistles to communicate over distances since the 1880s. They are a commonly used tool for boatswains, crossing guards, and referees.
I wish I knew more about rape whistles, but they seem similar in functionality to hikers taking whistles with them in case of injury, as the sound carries much further than yelling, and is much less tiring.
As someone regularly stalked by a large creepy harasser, I am grateful for the whistle I was given for self-protection, even if the creeps who it was given to defend against resent the fuck out of it.
Fin.

@… Very cool!
I agree. This isn’t the 1980s any more, and we’re past the point that one person can build an operating system. And this is a large chunk of an operating system.
This is why I’m not even trying. But if people were willing to try with me, and I trusted them, I might change my mind.

Got a watt meter and measured my amd a4 that I use as a server and 35w when I am doing almost nothing.
Looking at options and the dell wyse 5070 has more performance with less power usage. The amd a4 trully sucks

I am so tired of people trying to shove AI down my throat that anytime anyone talks about AI or adopts anything using it or anything like that I will just go on a ten minute tangent about how massive companies suck and AI is not even remotely the future. You did this to me, OpenAI/Microsoft/Apple/<insert other massive company here>.
