The stupid camera bump thing they totally didn’t steal from Google

Edit: Yes, I’m totally butthurt about that guys. Fuck Tim Apple!!11

Damn, I just installed the last brand new Crucial SSD that I had… Should I take it out and sell it as a collector’s piece?

Yeah, it’s not good but this is another “nobody responsible would ever care” type of situation

Already ahead of ya, about:config is a great thing

AI specialists OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI

lol

I’d guess it’s for the same reasons why we can’t have a local account

it’s safe to assume that the company isn’t interested in pouring its engineering resources into pursuing something that won’t benefit a majority of users

I mean, they could just let their awesome Copilot vibe code it, couldn’t they? Another reasons why I love being on Linux; you can do whatever even it it doesn’t make sense to the majority of users.

AI shouldn’t pay taxes, but the companies making them should

I’d hope they offer a discount on a new one if you send in your old.

Eh. If they did, they’d probably mention it somewhere.

The problem isn’t the battery life, the problem is how wasteful this whole design is. Best case scenario, the battery lasts 2-3 years. After that it’s pretty much junk. Sure you can send it in to get it (some of its parts) recycled but 1. I doubt many people would actually do that and 2. no one knows if Core Devices will be even around by then.

And what if the battery runs out before then? There’s only a 30 day warranty and if it happens after 31 days you’re screwed.

What the hell? They are delaying their new watches left and right, cancel pre-orders because they ran out of parts, and now they’re doing this, just out of the blue?

A gadget you throw away when the battery runs out is a very dumb idea

It should be outlawed if you ask me. “Battery Life: Years of average use” What if it dies after a month? The warranty they offer is 30 days, meaning that this is pretty much meant to be junk.

Just get an old Sony MP3 recorder…

Oh wait, here’s the best thing. They acknowledge this in their FAQ and that’s one of their reasons:

You’d probably lose the charger before the battery runs out!

Idiots.

I condemn these serious allegations against Poutine

Really? Never heard of that, why would smart watches be exempt?

Should still be able to carry 1 amp, shouldn’t it?

That’s a concern for me as well, in Germany every new Product has to come with basically a 2 year warranty. 30 days is nothing.

I mean you see a ribbon connector right there for the daughterboard, but yeah, maybe it’s too bulky for the current case design.

The nanos are pretty nasty to work on in general

True. Although I’d still find a way to mess it up somehow.

Soldered in battery still…

I would’ve liked to believe Eric was the nice and honest guy he comes across as in his videos…

Why can’t it ever be that simple? Just once.

Doesn’t fill me with much hope, especially after my 2 Duo pre-order was cancelled because they found out there weren’t enough parts.

The same guy who admitted he couldn’t raise his child without ChatGPT btw.

It’s nice how, in theory, some crackhead silicon valley startup would be allowed to single handedly fuck up just about everything
