@directhex Fine...I'll have to get them the old-fashioned way, strapping a rope to them, tied to a truck hitch.

@JenMsft not sure where I bought it, but I think I have their also-adorable plush sibling!

@directhex I would 100% use one year-round, if I had one. Better yet, several.
I’d hoped I could find some clearance ones after October, but no luck.

@GrantMeStrength I could see that more rectangular shape not being for everyone. I suspect I may have some incompatibility with the pressure from the bulge on the back of the Apple Watch sometimes. I'm probably using it wrong though.

@GrantMeStrength Never tried the original, but I loved the Band 2. I went through three of them under warranty for various hardware failures before they were abandoned completely and they gave me a full refund. But it was way more comfortable as an all-day (and night) watch than my Apple Watch.

@anizocani Wow, that was something. Every bit as…disorienting?…as the first game's trailer. I clearly needed to play more than 20 minutes of that one to understand all of this one, though.

@Gammitin That is such an epic dock. You inspired me to dig out my old D830. No idea why I updated to Windows 10 on it…probably ran faster than 8 at the time, even with 2GB RAM. Touchpad drivers appear to have been a pain point, from the desktop files left on it.
