Remember when "web2.0" and "social" (in the Tech sense) were just buzzwords?

Dignity or not, climate change is unfortunately gonna be having us burying a whole lot of dead...

Iirc, Android is based on Linux, so not too far fetched

I posted this somewhere else but I struggled into adulthood with analog clocks and learning to read them changed my relationship with time. I forced myself to learn to do it because I read about how it can improve time management skills. Now even my smart watch has an analog watch face, and one that puts my daily schedule onto the clock itself even.

Being able to read the hands and their movement kind of give a better sense of the units and movement of time itself. Totally recommend learning to properly read analog time.

I get that can help some people if coffee is part of your morning ritual. I never did coffee as a first first thing, setting it up the machine and then going about getting ready was always how I've done it. But I totally get, if you need it first thing a timer is great.

In my life personally, still can't think of any appliance off the top of my head that needs to know what time it is.

Fair. I know I'm in the minority of people who feels they need a watch and constantly checks it, so anything other than the device on my wrist is just extra. Since I was a kid I've felt lost if I wasn't wearing one.

I doubt they had any real way of knowing who they were working for. From a previous article I can't fully remember, I was under the impression some of these people didn't even know what they were supposed to be doing until day of. There were so many articles about how much of a shitshow the whole thing was I'm losing track.

Edit: apparently it's stated in this article too.

Only upon her arrival in Michigan did Muldrow realize what this job would really entail: canvassing for Trump.

The clock on the wall and watch, yeah, I actually use those for time. Everything else is more like, lol wtf does my coffee machine need the correct time for anyway

In the same boat here, buying a TicWatch 3 was a waste of money... In the end, a cheap Mi Band does what I expect of a smart watch better than the premium priced TicWatch. All I really need is reliable notifications and Mobvoi can't even deliver that.

I'm staying well away from anything Mobvoi and I recommend everyone else do the same. Good hardware held back by awful software.

I have family in China, I have family in the US, and I live in neither. Your average person just goes about their lives no matter where. You can be a political activist and go about your business in the US but you can't in China (and some other countries I've spent a few years in). Where I'm at, I can get spinal laser surgery and pay absolutely nothing out of pocket and well, US healthcare is memed the world over. Different countries, different worries.

Governments and politics is one thing, but getting by as average people, I feel we all just do our best no matter where we are.
