I just impulsively bought space black Apple link bracelet for $450

So what does it do?

does it hurt?

Since when apple is making bdsm gadgets ?

@Oktokolo
It's an apple watch band

@vane
They specialize on gadgets for masochists since years now.
Never tried one of their products, but their most-famous "laptop" featured a keyboard without an Esc key - they seem to be suble but really know what hurts...

@SortOfTested
A watch band for 450 bucks?
So what gadgets did they manage to put into a watch band?

@Oktokolo
Nano-level apple logos, micro-etched bezel trim, organic-dna memory sensing it's just a watchband priced by apple.

@SortOfTested
Oh, almost forgot that they are serving the money slave fetish too.

@Oktokolo
Jewelry is jewelry

@Oktokolo I think they’re making keyboard with physical esc key again.
I really liked layout with shift ~ z x c ... on their keyboard so going to home directory is finger friendly on terminal. Also magsafe ( it saved my computer from falling many times ).

the average yearly per capita income in nepal is around $700

@vane
Yes, the magnetic connectors are a pretty good idea. But there are rumors that they where too painless to use - so Apple stopped selling them.

Wonder, whether the gate keeper patents covering magnetic connectors are expired already...

@Oktokolo
Look on the bright side, the 100w output limit on usb-c will guarantee the broader ARM adoption across the industry.

@SortOfTested
Or they just go for AMD. ;)

@Oktokolo
That ends up taking more power though, so, probably not.

@SortOfTested
They have low-power SOCs too.

@Oktokolo
If you ignore absence of repairability, cramming one in a laptop that competes with current laptop chips won't have any power savings. It will come with extra heat issues though due to package size.

I'd like to end the [args] here. Shall we?

@akshar I agree. It’s just finely crafted futuristic piece of jewelry. If it’s apple they’re like bruh waste of money cashcow etc but if it isn’t they’re fine

Why does it cost more than a watch with this type of bracelet...

@molaram I started thinking about this alien shit and they might get confused on why dogs have bracelets on necks and humans have bracelets on hands.
