These will be "AI devices" like that "AI Pin" which flopped - they will have speakers and mics to talk to "AI" and that's it. The ring is at least useful as a fitness tracker. Also, a lot of people use both smart watches and rings because they want to track their sleep but find sleeping with a watch on the wrist uncomfortable (I find it uncomfortable too, but I don't track my sleep).
I find Samsung TVs running Tizen to have one of the worst performing user interfaces of any smart TV. Not sure if that is the fault of the OS, weak hardware, or a little of both, but it is so bad I bought a standalone streaming device for my main TV just so I didn't have to deal with multi-second input lag using the remote.
Yes, like I already said, you can waste water regionally. If in a area where the population is being asked to conserve water there is also a datacenter using large amounts of water, I agree that is not a good allocation of resources.
However, datacenters in areas where water is plentiful have no effect on dry areas. Considering datacenters are known to use vast amounts of water, I have to imagine they are typically built in areas where water is not a limited resource. There may be examples were that is not the case, but people are not dumb, they are not going to risk a 100+ billion-dollar investment having to shut down because of government regulated water rations.
Also, keep in mind that data centers are able to use gray water, which can't be used for much else because it has already been "used" once, so you may as well use it again instead of just letting it sit in a sewer.
Oh, right, those are controlled by a separate app; Samsung Health Monitor, which they didn't make available on the Play Store, only the Galaxy Store. Thanks for clarifying.
