i have never understood people wanting things like consoles and routers to look 'pretty' its a box that you look at once and then it sits somewhere and provided its not aggressively gaudy you can just ignore it

I've got an AEBS and yeah, it's an Apple device so it actually looks nice so if you were to put it somewhere visible it would look ok. That being said, I haven't set eyes upon the thing in months it's just shoved away somewhere out of sight.

Fabricated posted:Marketing talk but is that what consumers want because it's actually what they want, or is it because that's what has been given to them you are correct that brand loyalty is valuable but one of the strongest thoughts during a purchase decision is "am i getting cheated or am i getting a steal". like how a consumer will prefer a shirt on "sale" over the same shirt for the same price if that price was the regular msrp

excuse me, can anyone explain why you'd even want a battery in a router, or why you'd want to wirelessly charge it? i thought the "wireless" in "wireless router" meant it gave you a wi-fi network thanks in advance

i just happen to have a leaked design document for this thing ✓ Facebook - this router just downloaded something amazing, what it is will blow your mind! ✓ Twitter - tweets your u/d ratio! ✓ Instagram - takes pictures and posts on your behalf ✓ No batteries, wireless means wireless!

yes no photorealistic renderings. what this policy means is you can have a painted block of wood and some renderings that are balatantly not real and you're good to go.

vOv posted:what do you think 'prototype' means technically a "prototype" can be a zillion different things. it's just some early example of some part of the concept that you intend to refine later. in product design for instance it is inevitable that at some point you will build an "appearance prototype", a nonfunctional painted wooden model
