Who gets to choose what products are future rubbish?
Even if you think this product is a waste of resources, why is THIS waste of resources something we should stop, but not other, bigger wastes? Should we outlaw flying somewhere when you could take a train? The fuel spent on a short flight wastes way more resources and damages the environment much more than this smart ring does. If we are willing to ban this piece of tech because it is a waste, couldn't the same arguments be made about a short range flight?
- mxkopy 11mo agoSure, thanks for bringing it up. Short-range flights should have a higher higher threshold for permitted use in service of the environment. Please, ask more questions.

- abdullahkhalids 11mo agoThere are already several existing and proposed bans on short haul flights when train routes exist.
