My partner and I are getting older, and sleep in different rooms at different times. We’ve both worried about the other dying unbeknownst. I wear a pulse watch, but don’t know if it will do what I want. Any ideas, friends? I’d like us to be able to glance at a screen and see a heartbeat, ideally without spending more than a couple hundred dollars, and without too much hassle or cumbersome equipment. I appreciate any suggestions. (edit - we use android and Linux.)

    It’s funny; I recommend Apple stuff for practically all the same reasons you don’t. The walled garden pisses me off sometimes but when I talk to friends using Android stuff and their gripes it really reinforces that I made the right decision for my family, just as you have for yours. What I find even more amusing is that I design embedded linux devices, all my servers/vms are Linux based and I really enjoy using Linux… just not supporting/using it as a primary UI.

    Not shitting on your choices at all, I know that many people really like/enjoy the Android side as much as I do the Apple side. Chacun à son goût and all that.
