Google says it can’t fix Pixel Watches, please just buy a new one | With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.::With no official repair program and no parts, broken Pixel Watches are just e-waste.
I always see the software working people go nutty for the new hardware and dohickies.
Meanwhile a lot of people I knew who worked on hardware live in the woods “off grid”.
I know a hardware guy that lives on a farm and uses raspberry pi for his garden hoses.
Yeah that tracks. Doubt they are buying the apple solution for water management.
I tried to set it up but couldn’t keep it from leaking and spent more than I would’ve on a smart hose timer.
Programmed with an open source application, no doubt.
My dream life.
Eventually I hope to get my garden smartened up with water and rain sensors and an open sprinkler controller.
If by “software” you mean Web or Java or something like that, then, well, for the purpose of this conversation they are enthusiasts.
While people working on hardware are forced to get some understanding of how the world around us works.
I think the difference is simply between who has to go on site to fix an issue and those who “theoretically” could.
