So? My employer has my SSN, address, work history, etc. but I don't want them to know about where I go on the weekends. It's a fallacy to say that just because an entity knows a lot about you that it's OK if they know everything about you.
It's amazing how cheap Hisense TVs are, but the two we got are developing really bad white spots just outside the warranty period. You get what you pay for I guess.
Ya know, I just spun up a version of a user-driven exploration game, as an homage to the sf0.org from back in the aughts. https://irl2-production.up.railway.app/
Google auth still not hooked up, but otherwise good enough for now. And it's open source.
Anecdotally, I have been dealing with a new wave of bots that have been trying to join a group I moderate. Three of them were named Marcus. Glancing at the top 20, several of their names show up there.
I had pre-ordered a Time 2, but I switched to the Round 2 because it's cheaper and I don't really care about the features it is missing (heart rate monitor and speaker) or the shape of the face. It's awesome that they let you switch without losing your place in line, very customer-focused of them.
I thought about it but didn't because the battery life difference is pretty big (10-14 vs 30), and according to his comment below, apparently the battery is not replaceable.
I assume it would actually be replaceable if one were sufficiently motivated, but the fact that it's not meant to be replaceable is not so great.
Honestly if the PT2 weren't replaceable I wouldn't mind so much, since starting of with 30 days of battery means it can degrade a lot before it hits a threshold I care about (1 week, roughly). But if the PR2 starts off around 10 days, it doesn't have far to fall before it hits that threshold.
Perhaps the biggest reason I didn't swap my order, though, is that I don't want to wait several more months to get my Pebble!
Yes, your calculus is exactly like mine - there are things to like about the Round (personally I just find round watches more aesthetically pleasing, we've had a couple hundred years of mostly round cases...), but I want longer battery and a shorter wait to get my watch.
Convincing someone to commit a crime is a crime. If a gun manufacturer made a gun that encourages its users to commit crimes, that would also be a crime. I think OpenAI created a product that encouraged Stein-Erik to commit a crime.

This comes up often in discussion, and it's a crime only if the suggestion is for imminent criminal action. If it's a passive suggestion for the future, it's just free speech, which is not a crime.
