gollark: I actually *would* like an osmarksßsmartwatch with features like:- NOT having an entire power-hungry application processor to run Android (why would you *want* that?)- several week battery life- one of those cool "memory LCD" things as its display- extremely accurate timekeeping- highly "retro" infrared link to computers- one-time-password handling for 2FA- highly programmable alarms- excessive amounts of sensors (with aggressive power gating)
gollark: Imagine being outside.
gollark: I suppose you could have a unary input and "enter" instead of a binary input thing and "enter".
