These days, it’s hard to find anything that doesn’t need The Cloud. This has revolutionised the world! It has also led us to a world where you can buy a perfectly good device and it will suddenly stop working the next day. What happens next?

I will talk about the demise of the Pebble smartwatch, and how the community worked to keep them ticking. Featuring: clouds, reverse engineering, sustainable services, and a plentiful supply of “interesting” solutions to unexpected problems.
