Technology on the watch bench?

 

Have you ever been hard at work, concentrating, then you reach over for a sip of coffee or tea and burn your mouth. Or realized your coffee’s gone cold. Blah! I have.

Or forgotten an appointment or meeting while fitting a crown (watch or tooth)? I have. Just yesterday.



But this morning I received an invitation to avoid such mishaps with PIXEL MUG, an AI-enhanced mug with temperature, time and graphics capability. Are they kidding, an AI mug? What?!


Displays, time, temp, weather … Heck, who needs a watch or phone?

Since this is the Tech Forum, here's a cutaway for those who want to know:



Battery 🔋 life even shorter than a smart watch 🪫.



2 hours? Does it charge wirelessly? (no) I think the charging base should also warm the drink, don't you? I didn't need AI to think that up...



According to the spec you could even use this mug for Irish coffee. I wonder if it can analyze the calorie, caffeine, tannin or alcohol content?



No tariff worries or customs fees!  Why can't all the watch companies take care of that for us??



I didn’t get this up by April 1 but the company insists it’s not an April Fools joke.

Maybe if enough of us got these we could organize a world-wide GTG via Pixel Mug?

I’m already working on an app that will allow the mug to check timing, dwell angle and magnetism on your watch…

BTW the new crown was for Grandpa’s watch. It is well past its "Best By Date" but it's one thing my nephew has from Grandpa Phil that he treasures. As you can imagine, there are no Rolexes on this side of the family; all the money was spent on giving kids educations and taking 40 cruises around the world in his later years.



He wouldn't be caught dead drinking from a Pixel cup.



And now my tea's gone cold.


After viewing the photos of the shamefully dirty gold bracelet, I threw it in the ultrasonic cleaner and now it’s much better (but I had to file off the spring bars that were corroded in place).





I see I got my sleeve wet and dirty too — No good deed goes unpunished!
