This is the smartwatch I own. True netrunners know that the tech we wear on (or under) our skin is a prime entry vector for ever hungry megacorps to bleed the pulsing data from our digital veins, so having a wearable I have full control over is of paramount importance. I can flash it with new firmware whenever I want, the multiple open source options available are all an open book to any hacker worth their cyberlinguistic salt, and I can know for a fact that it won’t phone home with my location or other data to any corporation behind the scenes. If we are all going to be cyborgs integrating technology onto and eventually into our bodies, better to control that tech ourselves!
For some reason Pine’s EU store is ridiculously overpriced. The pinecil is around £55 if you buy it from the EU store or £47/£55 amazon. I got the pinecil for £33 buying from the US store and just having it shipped over to the UK.
You could think about doing that for this smartwatch!
What was the customs charge like?
Surprisingly, nothing!
