I really like my TicWatch Pro.
Obviously it's underpowered, has too little RAM and storage, and the GOOG badness makes me sad.
That said, it allows me to read my heart rate, reply to messages, have a customisable Linux terminal prompt tell the time/date, and store an SSH key for when I need it.
This is the peak, IMHO.
The next peak will be when it doesn't have teh GOOG OS.
Things move slowly, but I'm getting a PinePhone (just had the email about Brexit messing up shipping) because if we can help get a proper OS onto devices, we should.
Nothing should peak so early that it gets forgotten about for another "generation".
- abhinuvpitale 6y agoI really want to know more about the usecase of having to store SSH key on your watch.
- mPReDiToR 6y agoYou know when you're marching on the Capitol and you've left your phone at home so the Feds don't know it's you and you nick Pelosi's laptop then need to SCP (or rsync over SSH seeing as SCP is getting binned) all the files back to your server? Nah, me either. Especially as I'm in England. Please don't send the black helicopters. Having something critical on your watch (PGP/SSH) means you're never stuck without it. I'd love to be able to plug it in as a bootable USB with Tails on. I seem to recall someone doing that for phones so it might be possible! The reason I always need keys... Mum uses Linux (my choice) and I admin it from 200 miles away when she can't get her game to run.
