Called them several times, got delay tactics, finally sent them proof of purchase from Amazon upon request. Quoting directly from an email they sent me: “Because your product was purchased through an unauthorized reseller, it’s not covered by our warranty.”

Are you sure about that? It's a recall not a warranty claim. Have you tried?
Pretty sure I bought mine from Amazon as well and got my money back from the recall.

I get that the ars technica article said that, but kinda odd that they provided no screenshots and no other source has said the same thing. Im starting to get skeptical about there being only one unverified source for this.

People really dont know how much better Samsung UltraSonic fingerprint scanners are until you try a OnePlus/Moto/Nokia phone with an Optical Fingerprint Scanner. They legit blind you for a quick second before unlocking in the dark

i hate how the notch looks on phones but it works well in practice because of where the notifications bar is.
macbooks however are starting to implement the notch too. please for the love of god do not put the fucking notch on windows laptops. macbooks have the top taskbar thing so it works but even then it makes it a lot fatter

I bought mine from Amazon, but because they decided it was from an “unauthorized seller”, I was told I was not covered by warranty. The thing lasted less than 6 months. So, no, I won’t get my money back. Fitbit’s business practices are getting pretty slimy at this point.

Even the name “dynamic island” is stupid. Its main use is to display alerts. Call it “alert port” or something that’s actually descriptive of what it is.

A realistic football game would be amazing. Football isn’t really a sport you can play with your friends at the local park so VR is the only hope for us.

The only time it's inconvenient is when you're wearing gloves. But in many situations where you're wearing gloves you're also wearing things on/around your face that will make face ID fail, so same same.

Hopefully someone will crack it and we can eventually use it for the PC! However realistically when that's a possibility it will probably just make more sense to buy a different newer and better headset.

Well, no. By definition it has to see your face. If it can see your face you can see it first, and at that point it isn't unlocked. By default you also have to swipe up after unlocking. That is even more work.
One common use case for me is handing it to my passenger while driving. Face id would require me to put it in my fov, which counts as distracted driving. With touchid it unlocks as I slide it out of my pocket.

For decades I keep reading “this and that for rescue” when it comes to new tech. Yet those things are never present in rescue missions.

Yeah, I don't think it happened with the original so probably won't with this one..I think people that would enjoy that feature that have the console and headset would just buy a Quest or something at that point, after you've already dropped that much money what's a bit more matter.
