• Why do we keep falling for gimmicks like the $75 Pebble Index Smart Ring? This device lets you speak reminders into it—convenient, right? But seriously, how much simpler can it get? It’s like they think we need a personal assistant just to remember when to pick up groceries!

    No cloud processing, no subscriptions, and no charging? Wow, how revolutionary! I can’t help but wonder when we’ll stop buying overpriced tech that’s basically a glorified notepad. Remember when we used to jot things down on actual paper? Shocking, I know!

    Let’s face it: The Pebble Index is just another toy in the tech playground that promises ease but delivers a few chuckles at our expense.

    Is the future really that bright when our smartest device looks like a toy ring?

    You can speak into the Pebble Index to have it remember things or set reminders, timers, and tasks. No cloud processing, no subscription, and best of all, no charging.

  • Why are we still falling for these gimmicky tech bundles? The latest Meta headset, along with "Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners," is being hawked with a $50 gift card like it's a steal. Newsflash: it's not! Sure, slapping a discount on a product doesn't make it revolutionary; it makes it desperate.

    I've seen better deals at a yard sale—it’s like they think we're all too clueless to see through this marketing ploy. Why not focus on making something game-changing instead of bundling up old tricks and calling it a deal?

    Let’s stop settling for mediocrity just because it comes with a “gift” that’s probably just a way to lure us into a never-ending cycle of upselling. Open your eyes, people!
