The original poster is asking for something low end, and doesn't consider $150 as low end. A pebble at $50 would be nice (and that's what I paid for one of mine on sale)

Both my pebbles were purchased off the shelf at BestBuy (because BestBuy ran them on sale way cheaper than you could get them direct).

Then add a daemon in the background that watches for your something you wear (bluetooth watch/nfc ring) and when it's out of range lock everything down.

The numbers of digits on your primary manipulators is a silly way to chose a number base.
The NOX issue (the one in the article) has nothing to do with the fuel and everything to do with the temperature of combustion. Diesel engines are efficient because of the combustion temperature and that causes NOx to form. If Gasoline engines were raised to similar efficiencies they would start to develop similar NOx issues.
Diesel engines aren't more complex than petrol engines (especially with the advent of modern common rail injector systems). They don't have a throttle or ignition system of any sort. They have to be built heavier because of higher compression ratios.
Diesel is used in tractors and big rigs because of efficiency. The gallons per mile per ton are lower with diesel.
if you don't have the source and the ability to compile that source into working binaries, you don't actually own it.
Personally I feel naked WITHOUT a watch on my wrist, I've worn a watch of one sort or another since I was..7 nearly without break.
I've worn a connected smartwatch for 4.5 years now and wouldn't go back to the unconneced smartwatches I wore before.
My current is a pebble time I bought on sale.
If you own you can be forced out through tax increases, special assessments, and eminent domain. I've seen all 3 happen.

Haven't been on an airplane in years and am having less and less desire to do it in the future.
All except Vanguard were atop converted ICBMs until the Saturn boosters came along, and the first Saturn was basically cobbled together from ICBM parts so it could also call it ICBM based, The Saturn V was mostly not ICBM based.
Ford rarely deals directly with customers, they have a dealer network to deal with customers.
There was a link in the article, the issue specifically referred to was
"He just wanted a better way to fix a minor hydraulic sensor. Every time the sensor blew, the onboard computer would shut the tractor down."
A failure in a sensor disabled the whole tractor, annoying and expensive in a lost work way.
H2 fuel cells are being investigated as they are a way to get an electric car without the problems of a battery electric car. Battery electric cars still have the issue of long long charge times.
I doubt many cases actually happen in Podunktown USA, only larger cities have the resources to waste on this sort of idiocy. I know this because I live in Podunktown and most kids are on the free range plan here. If you would call the police on a kid playing in the park alone they would say, "So what's the issue? Is he/she valdalizing park equipment or beating up on other kids?"
