Nintendo’s new clock tracks your movement in bed

NIntendo’s colorful “Alarmo” Wi-Fi clock keeps an eye on sleep habits using motion sensors.

@arstechnica it teleports 10 ninjas into your room if you start dreaming about emulators
@arstechnica That's not at all creepy and concerning <sarcasm>.

#postoftheweek (season 1):
On Wednesday, Nintendo announced Sound Clock Alarmo, a $99 bedside smart clock that uses motion sensors to detect when users move during sleep to keep track of sleep patterns. The clock, which is only available to Nintendo Online subscribers until January 2025, changes appearance based on the selected alarm, with different clock faces corresponding to various Nintendo games like Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Splatoon 3.

@arstechnica

Why does everyone care show much about how they sleep?

I couldn't give a shit....

@chewie @arstechnica I have a sleep disorder, so I actually give an f about it. Also, gadgets that can help diagnose stuff like sleep apnea, which is super hard to do early, are completely worth it. Personally, it runs in my family, so it's something that I keep an eye on even if I'm young.
@arstechnica Sleep gamification! That's so. Hard no!
@arstechnica This is nothing to be concerned about. They're just making sure you're not unknowingly contributing to an emulator project in your sleep.
