I didn’t realize it was April 1st already.
“Alarmo” sounds like an elf name from Disenchantment.
Nintendo switch online required
They finally stopped pretending they weren’t about programmed obsolescence
When I saw this post I assumed it was a parody
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.
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:

I’m going to be building two initially for myself and my girlfriends kid but once I work out the details I’ll post it up on the fediverse somewhere with the full code to get going.
I am much more keen to use C instead of Python for something like a clock although I’m sure circuit-python is fast enough, id rather stick to native libraries.
Do you guys not have phones?
I think it’s meant to watch you get up instead of just stop it and then lay in bed for 3 minutes + get cash grabbed
i also do in fact have a slight curiosity of how much i move during sleep so i know why the heck i got a muscle strain on both of my legs waking up last week
