Not to put the ego in this nice and interesting conversation, but you called me naive and I am guessing you failed to read elsewhere that my devices are air-gapped.

My statement is: I believe people are inclined to steer away from devices without removable SD-Cards. Onyx sells devices, that's its survival, and has to take into account the market's inclination.

(So why of all judgements did you call that "naive"?)

And anyway, the only Android watch, for example, I found around that does not require an Internet connection or pairing in any moment of its life, was Chinese. I too often find more openness in Chinese products than in other producers.

Oh, pretty please, this I missed at first read. Around these parts, I've not seen anything like it.


EDIT: I read the article in Die Zeitung. Kühnreich is clearly quite smart. «Seit einigen Jahren werden Daten als "neues Öl" gehandelt, gerade deshalb müssen die Menschen ein Gefühl für die Bedeutung ihre persönlichen Daten bekommen und lernen, verantwortungsvoll damit umzugehen.»

Nonetheless. The last thing one should expect in crisis is still. This is just a symptom of a crisis which is evident and required.
