I don’t consent to any iWatch recording me
Who wants a recap of their day?
“You woke up at 7:22am!”
“You played stardew valley in bed for 14 hours!”
“You took minor chickie mcnuggie breaks twice today!”Are you watching me through a camera rn???
Their Israeli R&D center hard at work
It’s like that black mirror episode where the couple can replay their arguments
I don’t buy Apple products, so no, they won’t, heh
The stupidest tech purchase I made, ever, was an Apple Watch. Useless piece of shit.
I’ve never seen anyone come up with anything even slightly useful for any smart watch.
$500 bucks to learn that your heart rate goes up when you exercise and to start each day being told your sleep wasn’t perfect. Wow what awesome actionable information thanks
Oh you paid a thousand bucks for the one with the built in altimeter that gives you the exact same information printed on the trail map? So cool, wow so we really did go up the mountain and then back down, who could have known. Oh my god it even remembers where we parked the car?
The main thing I use mine for is being able to check notifications without having to grab my phone. I already enjoy wearing a watch, so the time, date, temperature and any other bonus info I want can be there too.
That’s about where it stops though. It should be a mostly passive device. I don’t think the design of fiddling with buttons and talking to it are reasonable. It should tell you information, not take it.
Hey if you simply enjoy it that’s awesome. My main problem is really just the marketing angle where people end up believing the watch has unlocked the ability for them to go for a walk around their neighborhood
I don’t need recaps; I was literally there.
You will once you’ve got permanent brain fog from super Covid.
Of my day? Nah, not gonna happen.
“I have nothing to hide, not even the private conversation happening next to me”
Is this even legal in the eu?
Who is dumb enough to think they want or need this? We’re all aware that this is just more data collection, right?
/google anything like how to partition a drive in Linux/
/bunch of minutes-long videos appear/
nah. we will cry when when see how many humans think this is cool
Oh great, now we’re all going to have to buy voice modulators that interject some kind of patterned noise that scrambles audio recording. Just like those masks that interfere with video.
The privacy arms race has begun.
In a decade we’ll all be wearing privacy helmets.
Wait, that sounds kind of cool actually.
Its not doing anything with my day. Don’t have one, don’t want one.
No thanks
