    It’s trained impotence, I watched it happen to my parents in real time. They went from independent free thinkers who understood MS-DOS to iPad kids. Our relationship to technology is a relationship to capital because we no longer have a say in our OS, websites, cars, privacy etc.

    I want this but I want it to be cellular so I don’t have to deal with reconnecting / surveillance. Bluetooth these days is just a whole other beast in terms of privacy whereas I feel I could non kyc a number and pay for data pretty easily. Just my 2 cents.

    Don’t you see? Ed’s entire business model is being threatened! The people that made him are agitated! At the end of the day when a billionaire calls you listen.

    For real! I was so happy when Eric got the trademark back and I understood you know this is a very niche passion project. So I wasn’t upset really with the wait and they didn’t let me down. The new touch firmware is a game changer too, the only thing I’m not crazy about is the raised glass. Cracked the edge and I’m sad since.

    I had that too back in the day and it really was what got me into open source. Nowadays I am loving the watchfaces.. also interested in its potential for passive RF detection w/ a rpi & RTLSDR.
