Really? A $100 alarm clock with WiFi that requires a Nintendo account subscription? It’s going to be sold out tomorrow.

The main gimmick is that it has tracking features builtin and will stop alarming when you go out of bed, without interaction. I tracks you in bed. To me this sounds alarming, because it collects data, so you can analyze your sleep, and has connection to the internet. Absolutely nogo.
I can just hit the button manually on my phone and its done. And I can already use any song I want.
Nintendo also recently did the Pokenon sleep app which was about tracking your sleep and a bunch of wearables have been shouting they intend to get better about it too…
I don’t know if I want to know why suddenly data on People’s sleep patterns is so profitable but yeah no way am I inviting data tracking and biometric harvesting into my bed with me.
Nintendo switch online required
They finally stopped pretending they weren’t about programmed obsolescence
I kinda wanna reverse/side engineer a replica you can DIY because fuck Nintendo.
Could probably use this as a base
Unfortunately your guide links to stuff on adafruit that’s out of stock - mostly the screen/microprocessor…
I found this guide that has a walk through with full code and an easy to use library for making the interface quite a bit better:

Announcing a new partnership with Jira…

I’ve tried to correct the perspective in GIMP. There are probably better quality versions of the image, but I just wanted to have fun.
Wait a minute, inserted any part of the body?
Filled in the blanks for you.
Thank you. :-) I’ll correct edit.
Okay, so there’s two lines I could go down for this.
The first is to joke about the recent controversy, and say that they’re only doing this so they can sue other alarm clock manufacturers for patent infringement.
The second is a wordplay by calling it “the s-watch”. But that doesn’t really translate well to text.
Switch 2 taking on a crazy form
All my homies hate Nintendo.
I think this is actually kinda cool. But I wish they had custom “Nintendo sounds” made specifically for the clock rather than game noises.
I feel like this would be a sure-fire way to make me feel negative emotions when hearing various game sounds.

I didn’t realize it was April 1st already.
“Alarmo” sounds like an elf name from Disenchantment.

The first thing I thought was “Did I suddently wake up on April 1st??”.

Is this an out of season alarm fools joke?
