That’s an American thing, isn’t it?

Huh, now it says “Inserted Ink Cartridge is not original. Self destructing now.”

And then emulate switch games on it

IBM Model M; there’s nothing better than buckling springs when it comes to tactility (and noise).

Those Keychron keyboards do look pretty neat, though.

Zootopia is great, but its first draft was notoriously quite different and a lot darker, leaning more into the predator vs. prey theme.

Sounds kinda what happened to Zootopia, with the first draft being too daring maybe.

A shame about Elio, the final product is about as bland and uninteresting as an animated movie can get.

There should be an additional panel with a shaped labeled as the FTA giving a thumbs up

This album is pretty good. Not my favourite by a long shot but after their last few albums it’s certainly a return to form for me.

I saw Elio recently and… AI can’t possibly write worse plots than this

Tetris DX, either on original hardware or my Analogue Pocket

I’d hope they offer a discount on a new one if you send in your old.

Eh. If they did, they’d probably mention it somewhere.

The problem isn’t the battery life, the problem is how wasteful this whole design is. Best case scenario, the battery lasts 2-3 years. After that it’s pretty much junk. Sure you can send it in to get it (some of its parts) recycled but 1. I doubt many people would actually do that and 2. no one knows if Core Devices will be even around by then.

And what if the battery runs out before then? There’s only a 30 day warranty and if it happens after 31 days you’re screwed.

What the hell? They are delaying their new watches left and right, cancel pre-orders because they ran out of parts, and now they’re doing this, just out of the blue?

A gadget you throw away when the battery runs out is a very dumb idea

It should be outlawed if you ask me. “Battery Life: Years of average use” What if it dies after a month? The warranty they offer is 30 days, meaning that this is pretty much meant to be junk.

Just get an old Sony MP3 recorder…

Oh wait, here’s the best thing. They acknowledge this in their FAQ and that’s one of their reasons:

You’d probably lose the charger before the battery runs out!

Idiots.

I was joking of course. I know about all of Apple’s exploits all too well

Isn’t that a good deal?

the only troubleshooting step apple has is to reimage.

That’s not entirely true. More often than not, the only troubleshooting step the “Apple Certified Professionals” there offer is to buy a new Mac.

I didn’t even get an email

Ooh, that’s bad… I actually doubled down and went with the offer to switch to the Time 2 at a discounted price. I sure hope I’ll get that at some point; they said I would be first in line (along with the few dozen others who didn’t get their 2 Duo presumably). I’ll get a refund if I don’t get it until February.

and I definitely wish I’d gotten the subtle black model instead of the bright white.

Glad I’m not the only one whose order for a black one got cancelled…

That’s like quitting Spotify now because you just realised it still doesn’t offer decent sound quality. It’s far from the only reason to quit using it and not a very good one.

It should alternate between the two IMO

We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty

Hell yeah, I take that as a win
