Do you have a source for this? Interested in reading more.

Unless it’s your personal summary, in which case curious what sources you used, or if it’s from an LLM in which case I’ll just ask it myself.

I don’t see an option I don’t need to wear, unless I’m looking at the wrong thing.

I have the same issue as the original poster in that I find wearing something on my wrist while I sleep uncomfortable. The Beddit is a strip that goes under my sheets. So I guess that’s why not.

Somewhat related - when I was working at Union Pacific in 2011, there was a hugely expensive effort to replace the old 1024x768 monitors in the locomotives with 1080p equivalents, including redesigning a lot of the UIs to work in a wide screen form factor.

After the rollout completed, all the feedback was negative, saying that the fonts were too small to read on the new displays, especially when the locomotive began vibrating at speed.

In the end, the whole fleet had a software update pushed out that set the resolution back to 1024x760, and all the UIs looked stretched. The engineers (train, not software) were ecstatic.

Lesson to take away is that with user interaction, it’s important to look at how humans will actually be using the system. That seems self evident, but given stories like these clearly isn’t.

Golly gee, I can barely hear you all the way up there on your pedestal.

I used linux for a good long while. Started with Ubuntu, then on to Mint, then Arch as I became more of a "power user". But you know what? Sometimes I don't want to put in manual effort to get things to work, even if that means I lose some customization. Over my years with linux, I've had driver issues with displays, with the network manager, with mounting remote drives... Basically any interaction with the hardware was a solid kick in the groin. Since switching to a Macbook, everything has been smooth sailing.

And especially nowadays with homebrew and docker, all the tools I need are available on a Mac, and it's a more integrated experience, and IMHO it looks better. But if you like linux and it works for you, that's also fine by me. To each their own.
