Ran out of money, went belly up, and sold the software assets to Fitbit so they could refund all the Kickstarter orders they couldn't fulfill, that guy.
Difference is that this time he is doing the watches with a 5 man team, not a bloated 100+ employee company with investors breathing down their necks, and the software is fully open source. Even released the Pebble 2 Duo hardware designs as a reference for others wanting to make a PebbleOS watch.
IRL we aren't anywhere near the point where the laws of robotics can be used as they require an AI intelligent enough to understand them first.
Just the first law: "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm" requires something that can process the difference between a robot and a human, the concept of causality, what actions or events may or may not harm a human, and use those to actively decide of it should do something or not.
And they don't even need to waste it, there are plenty of ways to cool them that doesn't result in the water being used up.
Best one is the Google datacenter in Hamina, Finland, they have the cooling loop connected to the city central heating system, so not only is no water used, the excess heat is useful as well. And the datacenter is powered by solar, so it's renewable heat as well.
Not just the second sleep theory, though I'd argue it isn't exactly just a "few peoples accounts", but stuff like siesta and naps in general.
The point isn't to say everyone slept the exact same biphasic sleep before but that after the industrial revolution the shift has been for everyone to transition to the "8-hours at night in one go at exactly the same time" method, which doesn't suit everyone and isn't exactly natural. Before artificial lights and clocks people slept with way more irregularity as there wasn't any strict time schedule to follow, and people waking up during the night or not getting enough sleep at one go wasn't really such an issue.
Not to mention that your sleep would have to follow the seasons and the sun way more.
Doesn't CS do it by using volunteers, showing clips to players waiting for matches or something where they can vote if the player was using cheats? I could be remembering wrong though, my CS knowledge comes entirely from watching klicksphilip :P
Biphasic/Polyphasic sleep by itself isn't anything bad, and it is a technique some use for getting the same amount in less total time. Humans didn't really start consistently sleeping 8 solid hours in one go until the industrial revolution or so.
For me personally, while normally I'll do 8-10 hours, if I'm extremely tired from like an all-nighter or something, I will get exactly 4½ hours of sleep at first, always, without a doubt. I'll then wake up unable to sleep until after roughly 6-8 hours of being awake at which point I'll crash and have to go back to sleep.
Major builds. They used to be YYMM (from 1507 to 2004), and changed to half a year at the end - 22H2 is the Windows 10 build for the second half of 2022.
In total, there were fourteen of these, with 22H2 being the final one.
It's possible it reduces the probability of things like wrongly answered stack overflow questions from being used, so it might actually work a bit.
Kinda like how with image generation, you get vastly better results by adding a negative prompt such as "low quality, jpeg artifacts, extra fingers, bad hands" etc, because the dataset from boorus actually do include a bunch of those tags and using them steers the generation to do thing that don't have features that match them.
...is the easiest way to get a controversial change through.
Decide what you want to do, suggest something way more absurd, the go "oh we listened and we are only going to do [the original thing we wanted to in the first place]"
30 to 90 days is standard for a defects in workmanship and materials warranty, which is only there to cover something not working right because it came faulty from the factory. It's basically one step up from an "as-is" sale just so you can request a replacement if it's dead on arrival.
It is bullshit and straight up illegal in the EU, but as the watches are shipped straight from the Chinese factory and sold by a US based company, it might technically be allowed? The legalese is very confusing when I tried to figure it out - if a company sells something directly to an EU customer, they are supposed to follow EU laws to a point.
