I won’t be using these features, but I’m not sure there’s cause for concern. The implementation seems very sensible and legitimately privacy-centric. The LLM runs locally and is meant as an very basic email proofreader. The crypto wallet is a likely an extension of the password management tech they’ve already developed, with transaction features that some people care about.

I can see why some people want these features, and I’m glad there are new alternatives.

Looks way more capable than the PineTime, which is awesome. But there’s no way the blood pressure sensor is reliable, right?

I expected to roll my eyes at this article but it’s actually quite compelling and well written. The Kagi website’s lack of nuanced privacy discussion already turned me off, and now I’m just going to pretend the service doesn’t exist.

What scanners do people recommend?

Yeah, it’s a Strawpoll issue, not an Eternity one. For some reason “VPN voting is not allowed”. I could definitely bounce around servers/protocols to find one that works, but I’m not in the mood.

Eternity has been perfect for my needs after Liftoff went on break. I can’t vote because of my VPN, though.

Edit: That is, I can’t vote on Strawpoll. Eternity works perfectly!

Woah. I assume Thunderbolt will still have latency benefits. For example, we’re not going to have wireless eGPUs, surely? I hope I’m wrong, because wireless PCIe lanes would be amazing.

I agree that some people need harder tones, but I don’t think anyone needs the abusive language that Linus used. If that feels like the only option, I think it probably means the person has gaps in their social toolbox.

It’s worth pointing out that they’re now a publicly traded company.
