Good job Fitbit, buying and shutting down Pebble, huh? :)
My 2016 Pebble Time Steel continues to work for me for about a week on a single charge. I do shut it down and unmute my phone every time I get back home, but I doubt any of the "higher-tech" offerings invented since then could last as long if treated the same.

Gotta love how these almost-leftist outfits like The Guardian keep dancing around the issue talking about this effect and that effect but never the cause, never ever the cause: capitalism as a continuously wealth&power concentrating network of economic dictatorships where the workers have no vote for half of their waking lives yet are being told they "live in a democracy"; profit as legalized systematic theft from the workers that makes said dictatorship possible.

I don't know exactly how his algorithm selects which locations to generate these warnings for, but Yanbu is not very far north of Mecca, which had around 550 heat-related deaths yesterday during the Hajj pilgrimage: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/soaring-temperatures-scorch-pilgrims-haj-saudi-arabia-2024-06-18/

Keep in mind that this is all based on sweat evaporation being the only cooling mechanism someone has available. I'm afraid if we look at the current overconfident language the bot is using vs. what will come out in the news about any deaths in the various areas with heatwave warnings we will see a big mismatch, i.e. hardly anyone dying even when the bot says things like "people WILL die".
