Me as I read the title: "well, obviously, they must have sunk everything into epoxy to make it waterproof and relatively resistant".
The article: "all the components are covered in epoxy!"
Well, duh.
-
I don't think this is a case for bitching about irreparability. I'm pretty sure it's so tight it can't be really open.
-
Yeah, not sure what people expect.
So many knee-jerk reactions.-
I don't expect a computer to last 2 years due to a battery dying.

No shit

Lmao bruh, that thing is the size of a single screw, you expected them to hold it together with what exactly? Of course it's all glued and soldered up.

Samsung Galaxy Ring, or How To Sell eWaste For 500 Bucks Apiece.
-
500 bucks plus subscription
-
I stand corrected!
-
-
You realize that simply because of its size, there's less e-waste here than like an electric toothbrush, right?
-
I think size is the wrong point of comparison, considering this is literally pointless tech. I'm not opposed to wearables, but we're just not at the point where we have small and relevant enough tech to make a ring more advantageous than a fitness band.
Plus we really need to prioritise repairability in all cases, regardless of the tech's application. I'd say we shouldn't even produce something we couldn't then subsequently fix if the need should arise.
-
If you have to argue about how little ewaste it creates when it gets thrown away then the thing shouldn't have been made in the first place

This is just an Ōura clone.
Same subscription grift too.
I'm ditching ōura for this exact bullshit, and it's for this same scam that I'm not getting the Samsung unit.
Yeah, it's not repairable. None of them are. My Ōura g2 is still running, but I'll be in the market when its battery goes completely sour.
Anyway. Ultrahuman. Unless they enshittified also. Maybe a different ring if they can charge off a standard Qi rig AND it has no slimeball subscription scam.

-
so it's the same garbage as oura ring. it also causes rash to many users.
-
Is anyone surprised at this point?
-
Whst does it actually do?
-
Collect data

If you ever want a giggle, read the GSMArena comment sections!
-
who asked for this?
-
this thing would last a week with me before being broken, my hands are always smashing against something.
-
Tf is that, this device sound like it's sort of sex toy.
-
Smart cockring for micro penis
-
Damn I would miss a lot fewer text messages if I wore one of those.

IDK, this one seems pretty unsurprising. That's a damned tiny package, I can't really see another way of fastening it together.
Now if it were me, that would be a reason not to make the damn thing in the first place but what do I know...
You sound like one of them damn commies! /s
