  The most recent Intel Core 2 Duo was discontinued in 2008. I doubt Intel would be able to convince anyone that this is a competing product or would cause any customer confusion. No one is going to be looking for a low end processor from over a decade ago and accidentally buy a watch.

  Does it use just standard watch bands? It looks like it, but I didn’t see it mentioned.

  One of the things I find ridiculous about other smart watches is that they use proprietary bands. When I found out that people are paying $60+ for a silicon band for an Apple watch, it blew my mind. Also that people put screen protectors or cases on their Apple watches because their $500+ watch doesn’t even have a crystal lens, and is prone to scratching.

  A calorie and a kilocalorie are the same thing when talking about nutrition/exercise. Which is 1000 “small” calories.

  I’m getting tired of people putting survival over standing up to the system.

  That’s a pretty privileged position to take. "Hey you, poor person, you should die so I have the opportunity to benefit from the system changing. Is that any different from what CEO was doing?

  Does a McDonalds worker lose anything by not turning the guy in?

  Yes, $50k.

  I’m not trying to justify it. I’m just pointing out that a year and a half salary is a pretty strong incentive. That is the opportunity to quit your job and not worry about money for a couple of months while you look for a better job. Whether you work at McDicks or Xitter, I understand the appeal of that. And I think a lot of people at least consider that.

  Maybe after a certain point even those trying to survive should share the blame for the negativity their contributions bring.

  This transaction feels like a bribe to keep the poors in check.

  I mean, yeah. That’s the whole point. But I still don’t blame the individuals that are also victims of the system.

  $50k of a reward. Probably over 1.5 years of salary.

  Just use KDE?

  It is just KDE though. Its just a plasma skin. But what you get by installing Wubuntu instead of a proper distro, and then applying a skin, is supporting a developer with a history of bad security practices and poor behavior. Not to mention the potential copyright issues. This whole project will probably die when Microsoft realises that someone is using their name and trademarks to sell a competing project.
