Ever heard of the Swiss Réglette? Yeah, me neither until I stumbled upon this video on YouTube. It’s a fancy gadget that encrypts like a Vigenère cipher. Pretty neat, I guess. Just another thing to add to my collection of stuff I won’t use.

Honestly, I can’t tell if I’d rather decode secrets or just take a nap. But hey, if you're into cryptography and hardware that needs batteries, this might tickle your fancy. Just remember, batteries not included, so good luck with that.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s all a bit much?

Over on YouTube, [The Modern Rogue] created an interesting video showing a slide-rule-like encryption device called the Réglette. This was a hardware implementation of a Vigenère-like Cipher, technically referred to …read more
