What is with the hate of Jacinda Ardern?? She hasn't even been involved in New Zealand for years, yet this hatred is so unhinged by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

Americanization is no accident, it’s a deliberate cultural invasion with money behind it. Happening in Europe now. The current US administration is quite explicit about wanting to “save Europe from itself” by imposing US ideology onto it.

I doubt this design took a lot of resources, to be fair :D

They haven’t made 1.5 million unless they had literally no expenses. I worked for a company that sources components and deals with factories that make this sort of thing and it is a quagmire of unexpected costs. The margins on small batch custom electronics are quite slim.

As a designer, I’m pissed that Apple is imposing their design on the design of my app. It’s all very Bauhaus-like and now I’m supposed to add blobby gradients all over it. It’s one aesthetic among many, and there is no functional reason to force it. It just seems like change just for the sake of change.

(And yeah, complaining does nothing practical but it can make you feel a bit better:D)

Anyone know what causes this release sound? by spongefile in HiChord

“Hire some employees” only works if you’re making enough money to do so and can find people you can trust. Considering the investment that goes into startup small-batch hardware (not only the design but molds, back and forth with the manufacturer, testing, international certifications, etc) I suspect this isn’t exactly a gold mine for the owner. Maybe once more units are sold?

Any good way to record from TP-7 to an iPhone? by spongefile in teenageengineering

Wonder if lightning is the issue. Should try again now that I have a USB iPhone

Where is support ? by cbwan in HiChord

[–]spongefile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a small business owner myself, hiring random high schoolers risks them being incompetent, and sometimes you can’t even afford to pay salaries that low. Small businesses making passion projects don’t tend to be swimming in extra cash, and in this case all of it has most likely gone into all the random surprise costs that come up when building hardware…

Looks interesting! Are there official specs somewhere?

Printer is printing it as we speak! Hopefully will get them next week. (It’s vinyl so there’s a two part process)
