What about sporting insertables instead?
They try pushing a warable onto me, and I'll insert it in them.

Do you have children or elderly parents to care for?
Or want your food to show up in grocery stores? Or airplanes and trains to arrive on time and safely?
Time is an important safety thing.

Revelation 13:16-17
New International Version
16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.Huh. No uproar from the people who believe in this shit? Weird.
Maybe they're all too busy basking in the warm glow of hell... Nah

Years ago I purchased a Fossil Explorist Q wearable smartwatch. The first software update, about a month after I bought it, turned the device from a functional smartwatch into a brick that was so slow it was nearly nonfunctional.
The device was not powerful enough to run all the spyware they tried to pack into that update, turning it into an on wrist heater, occasionally getting Hot enough to burn me.
I've never seen a device so thoroughly destroyed by enshittification so quickly. That's experience turned me off of wearables forever. Maybe I'll make my own someday. Maybe I'll get a Pebble now that they're back-ish. I'll never get anything with wearOS on it again. Hell after the last year I might never get something with Android/iOS again either.
Wait till you can have your pacemaker play the Netflix sound for 10% off the family plan

Pass a law that protects wearable health data under HIPAA and I’d consider it.
And then the next bunch of fascists come in and seize all that data. Or the TLAs do it covertly.
We need strong data protection laws, but we also need strong technical measures to prevent intrusion.
And robust incentives for the good guys to keep a step or two ahead of the jerks

They are/were anti-vax, that makes chances pretty good.

Man, I feel sick, lemme check my health watch.

I thought there were devices like this you could buy as a kit and build yourself that were local and private.
Yeh bangle.JS is this I think

Thing is putting the horrific privacy concerns aside it’s not like it’s a bad idea from a health perspective. Everybody being simply more aware of the things their body is doing is immensely helpful on a societal scale.
Problem is there aren’t any devices that are local only or otherwise truly private. Apple stores your data locally on your phone which is good, but there’s no guarantee it’ll always be that way.

Mandating Americans use 'wearables' for health reasons thats coming from the same party that, when asked to wear a mask during a worldwide pandemic for the public health decried government overreach, claiming it was like living in nazi germany, and even discredited Fauci over his very true claims of wearing masks helping to save lives. I truly cant wait to see what that side has to say about Junior here, gotta keep that same energy right??

No fucking way.
You can’t pay me to wear anything on my wrist even without the government spying. And no way in hell would I trust anything this administration recommends.

Follow the money. Nominee for surgeon general has a stake in wearable tech.
Just like when those scatter machines were forced on the TSA, it's because the person in charge had a stake in the company making them.
My company gave these things away to each employee for some 'fitness challenge' between departments....I never even opened the package. My group was mad at me for not helping win the free lunch or whatever it was .... Until I made them read the privacy policy. Many stopped wearing them immediately

HIPAA data is protected.....until it isn't. Laws change. Especially when companies are salavating to access health data.

Laws don't even have to change if nobody is enforcing them.

Humans used to do this for millennia without calendars or clocks

I don’t care. The only reason this is an issue is because of all the other expectations we’ve created around time and scheduling.
