In its suit, Samsung alleged that Oura had a history of filing patent suits against competitors like Ultrahuman, RingConn, and Circular for “features common to virtually all smart rings,” such as sensors, batteries, and common health metrics.

The problem isn’t the features, it’s that Samsung is copying the very concept of a smart ring. Oura was the first company to make and patent biometric smart rings. So, yeah, if you make a biometric smart ring without paying them, you’re getting sued. That’s how patents work.

For the past 30 years, Samsung’s consumer product development strategy has been 75% “copy the competitors, then pay lawyers to fight it out.”

Crazy idea here. Maybe listen to your doctor, not the people on social media or cable news who are chasing engagement?

“The variable was not defined as zero. The definition is now null.”

I thought that was rowing machine porn.

You will encounter this man at work.

They will ask for your help with something on their workstation, and it would be faster for you to drive with them watching over your shoulder, but this cryptic thing is their keyboard.

Instead, you will be forced to sit behind them like Patrick Swayze guiding Demi Moore at a throwing wheel. You will eventually take your shirt off, launch Unchained Melody in Spotify, then slowly guide them through a system setting panel.

You will notice how soft their hands feel. The hyper-ergonomic keyboard has allowed their fingers to move with minimal effort, allowing the skin to remain supple, smooth - almost unused.

You will ask yourself, “Is he right?” How could a keyboard be so aggressive and wrong, and yet, support something so gentile.

You try to deny the feeling. Your friends and family will mock you like your uncle Dvorak. Maybe you start with a trackball and see if being naughty feels right.

Or we could hire professionals with experience that don’t have to “learn lessons” with national security intel.

Trump hired amateurs and fired staff that had experience. This is a federal government run like a school project.

Probably not the worst idea if you’ve been diagnosed with heart disease.

Samsung’s just copying Apple yet again.

Actually, just draw this user’s dad. They’ve been out getting scratchers since 2003

To be fair, the Nazis are being treated extremely well these days.

Lots of people are talking about it.

Someone do this, but with vibrators.

You should probably read the article before commenting on it.

Well, one is a public benefit company, the other is not. So not exactly the same shit.

It wouldn’t. This just a BS excuse to bully a trade partner.

100% agree. My stupid Volvo does that, and it doesn’t have lidar or a million cameras around it.

Some of the newer auto manufacturers do that. Telsa, Rivian, etc. Those companies all have good in-house software developers. Almost everyone else farms this stuff out, which is why it’s never updated.

Just saying I’d like to see some more data. I get that Musk is not someone who should be trusted. Especially if it’s around complying with regulators.

That said, I could see that system being disengaged by some intended safety triggers.
