"Interpretation of some of the physics 15 months ago led us astray, resulting in a 12 month set back" Well at least they learned their lesson!!

Jimmy Carter posted:Reminder that Whirlpool, a company with an annual revenue of $20+ Billion/year, has decided that Indiegogo is the best way to get a project funded seemed cool until i saw that it needs power, and air filters and additive packs seems worse for the environment than composting or even just throwing out leftovers and buying fertilizer when you need it

I think it's a problem much more suited to economies of scale in large-scale compost collection, but making meat and dairy compostable is a genuine innovation that shuts down the hassle of sorting your food waste every time you clean a plate. shame about the price tho; hopefully like all kitchen kickstarters, a device 1/3 of the price hits the market a month before they ship.

Cocoa Crispies posted:don't some cities have compost collection separate from trash and recyclables? Seattle has mandatory composting bins. if you put food into the trash and are caught (you won't be) you get some tiny fine. I thought it was stupid until I learned that landfills are (supposed to be) sealed and any food just takes up space having a little food bin I take out every other day is neat because now I have one bag of trash a month

Samuel L. ACKSYN posted:wasnt this a thing back in the 90s. It was a thing in the early 2000's as well, back when haptics were trying to be the big trend with stuff like the Falcon. VR may make it a little more practical, but very few people are going to want a vest to play games still. With the effort for VR, especially roomscale they're going to have a crazy limited audience. Headset tethers are inconvenient enough as is.

What does your phone need? A case that does for the microphone what tape does for your webcam. A 3D printer that has a nice layering effect and a random soundproof material. What soundproof material? Something. It'll be printable. Like any project, it has some risks: from it won't work to "Apple gets mad and sends a scary letter" to "our 3D printer dies. The solutions are just as good: They'll make a passive recording app to show their case works, they will ignore any legal issues ("gently caress the man!"), or refund if the 3D printer breaks. In all fairness their old 3D printer and the lovely layering effect will probably make the risk of the case not feeling good to hold all too true. Somehow I imagine printing the cases would also be the most time consuming method of production and far more expensive than other methods.

so there was a "Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega Plus Console" handheld on indiegogo to which indiegogo has recently shut off funding. the company behind it seems to be very defensive and litigious about inquiries according to this bbc article

Normally I try to make some sarcastic pitch poking fun at the kickstarters. This time, I give up. Make entertainment great again. I can't top that. There is no sarcasm, joke, ridicule, or exaggeration i can make. The entire campaign has done every bit of it for me, ticked every box for either a scam or a resell and seems to be marketed via google translate and someone who does not speak English copying the most used words from CNN. The rewards? Random lightning cables, some other bluetooth speaker, or you get to send them a video they will send in a projector to some random kid. Luckily at the top tier this Australian company will give you a five day trip to China to be their first partner and meet the team. Luckily it's a nice, portable, lightweight 550mL in weight, so you could take it home easily.
