Basically the question is: who do you want to rely on/trust more, encryption or the justice system?

After reading what others have said and feedback on PineTime and what a good hackable watch should have, it seems like Pebble should resurrect from the grave as a hackable watch. I mean the pebble time had 128kb ram (this only has 64k ram),

Go on ebay and purchase a Pebble Time. Color epaper display, fully hackable even after being discontinued thanks to the dev community who continues to update it with "Rebble" the open source version of the OS it ran on.

That's sick! Brilliant and creative idea. Those shots look beautiful.

Google stopped indexing flash content recently too. They were indexing it this whole time cause of how much legacy content is out there. https://techcrunch.com/2019/10/29/the-slow-death-of-flash-co...

Color displays are great, but they should have had an option for a (color or black and white) e-paper display. More efficient for these purposes imo.

Ohhhhh, I didn't realize that. Makes a lot more sense, I guess it is a better comparison to an Arduino than a raspberry pi.

Yeah, the original Apple watch had like half a GB, and a raspberry pi zero ($5 price) has the same. Couldn't they have fit that within both budget and size?
