What? The technology is not the problem. The devices are great in general and can help a lot of people. I don't get this kind of thought process: "This tech doesn't help me therefore it is useless for everyone you are just dumb for using it!". For people with ADHD and other neurodivergence aspects this kind of device help plenty, and there's plenty of other use cases out there aside of those.
The tech can provide a fully private and good service, but we need to make sure that companies cannot abuse their power which clearly right now it is an issue in most cases.
OP, check the pebble devices, they are bringing them back and they have always proven to be very good for any of us that used them. Now the devices are completely opensourced and even when the company went down all devices kept working. They are probably one of the few that can actually be trusted.
