That they will harvest to learn how to build a better prison around us all. People who use this shit are traitors to the very notion of freedom, or personal rights at all. They give away prices of their liberty one EULA at a time. Same strategy Putin has used to inch his way to empire without provoking an outright war with any nation that is too dangerous. Heat the water slowly and the frog never notices.
FYI Pebble is back and open source if you want a smart watch without all the bullshit
That’s interesting. I don’t see how it can generate recaps of my day if I don’t ever purchase it.
If I can’t turn it off, I don’t want it.
You can turn it off. In fact it says right in the article that it’s off by default.
How do I turn it off on the devices of people around me?
People wearing glasses with thick rims will get sick of showing people that there’s no camera and start buying new glasses.
Apple Watch users will stop wearing their watches in public. And finally giving up wearing one altogether.
“You looked at your phone for about 12 hours”. Thanks Apple
You took one of your top 3 all time deuces today!
For 3 of those hours I looked at my iPad, ok? Thanks.
nope
Oh no it won’t.
oh hey time to stop speaking unless absolutely necessary
how do we revert omnipresence of mics, cameras and other sensors
We don’t. But thankfully we don’t have data brokers that can assemble all of it and make pretty little profiles of us all. That’s why they need another 1500 data centers per year.
The new Apple Watch will track your every move.
This is the same shit companies do with their “year in review” shit - a blatant attempt to glamorize and normalize their invasive surveillance, now running 24/7.
We’re so cooked
No it wont, I won’t buy it.
I absolutely do not need this. Journaling is healthy. Take that up instead
Exactly. People love convenience until it removes the only actual benefits of the thing it’s replacing, but by then they’re dependent on it.
If it listens to things for you so you can look at them 10 seconds later when you realize you didn’t hear, why should your brain even bother paying attention to ANYTHING in the moment? If it summarizes your day, how much less are you going to remember because you’re just not forcing your brain to think about what you’ve done today?
I know for a fact I’ve gotten much better at remembering things that happen throughout my day after I started taking a note every day with what I did. If I had something recording it all for me, I’d just become even more reliant on that thing to even remember what happened at all.
Also, is that what apple watches still look like? Eleven years and these visionless assholes can’t meaningfully evolve the industrial design of this fucking nag box?
Are you complaining about the hardware or the face?
- Whats the point of changing the hardware? It’s a simple, shape, already comes in multiple sizes and has the number of buttons that fit.
- Why complain about the face? Use a different one and now your Apple Watch has more design variety than a couple of dumb watches
Apple: ‘melted lozenge’ is the platonic ideal for watches
@xenomor
What vision? It’s a wrist watch (with extras), so it should look like one.For the record: I hate wrist watches.
