Rewind Pendant: a wearable that captures what you say and hear

I'm curious how this works out in the privacy of people's homes. A lot of couples wind up arguing about who really said what. I wonder how it works out for them when someone produces the recording that settles it for good.

While we would hope that it settles the argument, it doesn't address the emotions. And therefore I suspect that it would just make people's arguments worse.

Yeah, throwing a recording in their face seems like a surefire way to escalate that argument rather than resolving it. It's more about trust and mutual respect & compromise and forgiveness... if you start keeping score and playing gotchas, that only builds resentment.

The defense against a bad guy with a recording device is a good guy with a recording device, or something

Upvote for the solid relationship advice, technology aside.

It's a Black Mirror episode, if you want a preview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entire_History_of_You

Portable microcassette records have been around for many decades (and hitting record on a phone to capture audio is something anyone can do without taking the phone out of the pocket).

There's a reason you're wondering about how well this idea works.

Aren't security cameras also able to record the same data (ok the voice is not as good), plus with video?

Record your ground and castle doctrine.

are you really the man of your castle if you're in a one party consent state and need permission to do something in your castle?

>> A lot of couples wind up arguing about who really said what.

I try to get as much relationship decision making as possible done via SMS text or email.

And the moment there is a discussion/argument that turn to “what you said/what I said”, I say I’m only willing to talk about tangible facts, not conversation recollections.

The first Black Mirror episodes were really like looking at the future.

I really recommend to see this episode as it shows what consequences such devices can have on people's lives.

i honestly can't tell if this is satire or not
