    The Pebble had one huge advantage over other smart watches: an e-ink display. So it only required power when pixels actually changed, which means even the latest color version lasted over a week on one charge, where Apple Watch and the like last up to two days if used conservatively. The display is also perfectly readable even in the brightest of sunlight.

    • @OtakuUnitedStudio

    The Pebble was better than you give it credit for. Even with the KS prices it was still cheaper than Android Wear (Apple Watch wasn't out yet), its battery life let it run for a week between charges, it was compatible with Android and iPhone both, it was waterproof, and the hardware buttons let it be useful when wearing gloves. It was also a lot easier to develop for than the competition, so its app ecosystem was rich while it was around. I would still be using mine if it hadn't broken.

Then he has taken E.T.A away as punishment for the decrease in new subs. He will likely refuse to return him until we get busy and live up to our end of the bargain!

    I went to high school with Eric, the creator of the Pebble Watch. It's a sad story really. He had a several year head start on the now billion dollar industry and he really had something special going. However, because he was so focused on making his watch as affordable as possible (sub $200) it limited himself from creating watches that watch people would want to wear. He ended up getting bought out by FitBit only when Pebble was in the midst of insolvency. Meaning FitBit got to 'acquihire' all the talented staff Pebble was aggressively poaching, all the IP they have developed for pennies on the dollar.
    Speaking of which, you can do a business blaze on the rise and fall of Pebble Watch. PM me if you wanted additional info.

It strikes up conversation. I have met great people that thought it was funny. It has made me several new freinds I would not have otherwise. So to me it was worth the money.

    Kickstarter's a really good place for boardgames and stuff like that. Video games tend to die on the vine a lot (though some succeed) but boardgames generally deliver eventually and for those of us outside the US is fantastic since the markup here in Australia is high enough that it'd cover the postage price of the kickstarter campaign, and the exclusives that usually get thrown in make it a bit of a profit if you can sell those off. (See anything from Zombicide makers CMON, or the games Gloomhaven or 7th Continent that did short run kickstarters, got huge reviews after it was out that developed immense hype for a second printing kickstarter and made enough bank to go into full continuous retail production, in the case of the company that made Scythe they made enough money off that to no longer live kickstarter to kickstarter and started making games without crowdfunding)

      Investing in a restaurant is a terrible idea anyway, more that half of all restaurants fail within a year of opening, and about a third of those that survive the first year barely make a profit. I don't know how it works outside of the U.K. buy if you go in to a bank for a business loan, restaurants are one of the few that require additional collateral. It why street food trailers are becoming a really big thing, in large part because they're more successful with lower risks but mostly because you don't need to put your house up as security.

    I've supported one kickstater which was an album it came on time. And one on indiegogo, the original GPD Win, that came super fast, but late last year I sold it and got the GPD win 2.
