This is the smartwatch I own. True netrunners know that the tech we wear on (or under) our skin is a prime entry vector for ever hungry megacorps to bleed the pulsing data from our digital veins, so having a wearable I have full control over is of paramount importance. I can flash it with new firmware whenever I want, the multiple open source options available are all an open book to any hacker worth their cyberlinguistic salt, and I can know for a fact that it won’t phone home with my location or other data to any corporation behind the scenes. If we are all going to be cyborgs integrating technology onto and eventually into our bodies, better to control that tech ourselves!
The good news is that Pine is also creating the #PineNote with an eink display, so maybe the creation of an eink #PineTime at some point in the distant future is not completely unrealistic either. Assuming the display is the main thing you miss about it, of course. :)
That’s the main part I am personally missing, will keep an eye on it!
