Oh fuck you, pal (whoever owns the ring, not OP or anything).
Unfortunately, there is one big caveat — licenses. Each ring comes with a single-use license that will allow you to access pro features on one device.
If I won't own it, why would I buy it?
Do not strap lithium batteries to your finger, are you mad?
Yet people put lithium batteries on their lap right next to their genetalia and on top of a blanket that covers up the laptop's hot air exhaust
I have reasons to pass by this invention but exploding off my finger is not the primary concern
The battery "exploding" is a secondary concern. If the battery swells in a laptop I am not in any immediate danger. If it swells on a ring it can lead to it being trapped on my finger and potentially causing loss of the digit. I also wouldn't want to risk a ring catching fire in the process of trying to remove it after it swells.
Ooooh that's information
Downvoting myself now LOL
Oh look, it's an air mouse. But, you can't change the battery, the licensing is all kinds of "fuck you", and with all those gestures, I'm expecting a frustrating experience with the device constantly interpreting unrelated motions into inputs.
