  • Ask HN: You ran into some money, what tech stuff are you buying?

  • Pixel watch ROM?

  • Framework should make a smartwatch
    I would love a smartwatch with the philosophy of Framework. A consumer-friendly, high quality watch that works out of the box, and has privacy and repairability in mind. OS wise AsteroidOS looks like it has potential, but all its currently supported watches are kinda old. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Fitbit
    Asteroid OS though it seems like development has fallen off. Their page says they are still active. Source: over 1 year ago
