I’ll never wear another smart watch.

The laxer on it burnt a pin sized hole on my wrist that has scarred. This broke the straw for me, never again… Don’t trust them at all.

Other than the above. Taking it on and off daily to charge. Having to update it constantly. Having notifications constantly (easy solve). Having to touch it to wake. They just aren’t designed well.

I had a seiko watch that was nice, but I felt like wearing it daily would damage it.

If I were to get another one, it’d be either a durable mechanical watch, or a dress watch. Wish I’d kept the seiko over the bullshit smart watch replacement.

Quick. Buy this dude a dog!

I’d argue security updates are not needed too.

It depends on what the device is used for.

Most security concerns nowadays are from users giving easy access to nefarious people. Usually easy passwords that can be collected from social media.

I’d also argue that corps like Microsoft, Google, Apple etc, can have far more nefarious intentions than some random hacker. Even if it’s just data leaks. There is safety in a crowd. But when corps control the crowd… That’s more of a reason to raise security concerns.

Software shouldn’t be locked.

The manufacturer should stand by their products.

Products don’t need constant updates.

There is a point to repair.

I have my ideas.

What’s your job?

Factory worker.

I would starve without a job. (without welfare, in some countries, this is not enough)

There is an order of magnitude here. In a way, I’m being hyperbolic. But I do want to highlight the similarity between the two.

Sorry.

Directorship*

Functionally, they are the same.
