#2Anyone remember how viral "I've fallen and I can't get up" went? This was apparently the main use case and selling point for those devices back then, and it still is now.

#3That board shouldn’t have passed QC? The largest SMD on the first image of the board is severely off-centre.

#4The breath rate application really got my mind turning here— replacing 2 wearables (breath monitor, fall monitor) with a wireless device, and pulse sensing can already be done by video. Imagine walking into a hospital room or grandma’s home & having full bio monitoring with no tubes or cables…

Whoa— yeah, that’s hard to un-see. I can’t believe they missed that (and that I did at first glance)

#6This ought to make for inexpensive home automation sensors that do much better occupancy detection for rooms than pIR sensors, which stall out if you're sitting and don't move enough to trigger "motion" but still want lights on in the room.

They probably gave the marketing department a QC reject to take pictures with, since marketing can't be bothered to worry about things like proper ESD protection =)

I would be shocked if they didn't ship that. The capacitor is electrically connected to the pads, and isn't shorting the row of smaller passives above. It's $32.

I think you'd be surprised how lax IPC-A-610 can be. That probably just sneaks in as acceptable for class 1/2 (side overhang <=50%). Even class 3 acceptance criteria allows for 25% overhang.
