  IDK, this one seems pretty unsurprising. That’s a damned tiny package, I can’t really see another way of fastening it together.

  Now if it were me, that would be a reason not to make the damn thing in the first place but what do I know…

  Me as I read the title: “well, obviously, they must have sunk everything into epoxy to make it waterproof and relatively resistant”.

  The article: “all the components are covered in epoxy!”

  Well, duh.

  I don’t think this is a case for bitching about irreparability. I’m pretty sure it’s so tight it can’t be really open.

    Yeah, not sure what people expect.
    So many knee-jerk reactions.

      I don’t expect a computer to last 2 years due to a battery dying.

  Lmao bruh, that thing is the size of a single screw, you expected them to hold it together with what exactly? Of course it’s all glued and soldered up.

  Samsung Galaxy Ring, or How To Sell eWaste For 500 Bucks Apiece.

    500 bucks plus subscription

      I stand corrected!

    You realize that simply because of its size, there’s less e-waste here like an electric toothbrush, right?

      I think size is the wrong point of comparison, considering this is literally pointless tech. I’m not opposed to wearables, but we’re just not at the point where we have small and relevant enough tech to make a ring more advantageous than a fitness band at this point.

      Plus we really need to prioritise repairability in all cases, regardless of the tech’s application. I’d say we shouldn’t even produce something we couldn’t then subsequently fix if the need should arise.

      If you have to argue about how little ewaste it creates when it gets thrown away then the thing shouldn’t have been made in the first place

  This is just an Ōura clone.

  Same subscription grift too.

  I’m ditching ōura for this exact bullshit, and it’s for this same scam that I’m not getting the Samsung unit.

  Yeah, it’s not repairable. None of them are. My Ōura g2 is still running, but I’ll be in the market when its battery goes completely sour.

  Anyway. Ultrahuman. Unless they enshittified also. Maybe a different ring if they can charge off a standard Qi rig AND it has no slimeball subscription scam.

    The Ōura it clones is pretty resilient to my normal life. I’m a nerd but also a huge klutz. It’s got scratches but my Ōura g2 is still kicking.

    It’s pretty small, so maybe not.

    • kameecoding@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago
