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.

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.

In French prolo means Prolétaire which mean wage-worker.
‘Wage-worker useless ring of doom’ is a strange name for a kickstarter project.

Oh fuck you, pal (whoever owns the ring, not OP or anything).
If I won’t own it, why would I buy it?
