I would like to get my hands on one of these. They look amazing. However, with the current state of affairs in companies right now, I'm going to wait until it comes out, and see what the complains are. If I still want it then, I'll get it, even if it costs more.

For now, the best fully functional option I've found that (sort-of) respects privacy are Garmin watches,so I'm using a Venu 3.

They already do. Where have you been?

You are aware that IP laws only apply to the masses (us) not to big corps, right?

If any of us take any of theirs and reproduce (and potentially improve) it, we're almost certainly looking at jail time. But if those companies want to take any of our ideas and profit off of them without even giving us credit, then all's good.

Fuck copyright, IP and all the similar shit.

I'm not a developer, but I can certainly understand your position. It's unfortunate that companies rely on this type of company to decide if someone is worth hiring. There's a need for companies to have streamlines that look at the actual capabilities and values of potential hires, regardless of where the evidences are hosted.

This world is way too broken, and getting worse every day.

It blows my mind that so many devs did not see this coming the moment Microsoft bought it. I was waiting for this to happen the moment I found out about the acquisition.
