    I like how they threw a 2DS into the pile of late 90s, early 2000s tech.

      Initially I agreed, but actually I think it stands. The design is similar enough, regardless of era. Honestly, I really do wish this kind of design would come back

        fun followup of the day: a “factoid” is something that isn’t true, but is presented as being true. go ahead, look it up!

          Interesting. I might research that on the toilet tonight, or just drop the word factoid from my vocabulary.

          Regardless, clowns still have to go to college, while politicians do not. Fun fact of the day!

          Funner follow-up: this definition is correct and true to the original usage of “factoid”, however, the alternative definition meaning “a small or minor fact” has been used often enough that it’s generally accepted, and appears in several dictionaries. Ain’t English grand!?

      I only got the backplate but man I’m tempted to do the front too.

      Also transparent filaments are great. I 3D printed an olfa knife handle in transparent green (think Razer’s green) and it looks fucking awesome.

    That translucent blue plastic becomes about the most absolute brittle shit over time. When they say plastic lasts hundreds if not thousands of years, translucent blue plastic missed that memo.

      Plastic lasts thousands of years, most of it lasts tens of thousands of years but blue plastic singlehandedly brings down the average.

    I guess it’s very much a matter of taste.

    Ten years or so earlier, you could still get a TV where the sides of the case were made of wood. Wood, metal and black plastic throughout. Physical buttons that went ‘clunk’, a physical slider to adjust the volume, a metal dial for tuning.

    To me, that was peak design.

      I actually took a busted one of those and fit a 32in flat into it. Blocks off a little of the edges with the frame and gives it that square screen look without losing anything important. Cheap soundbar sounds amazing inside the box, everything is plugged into a surge protector inside and fed through the antenna hole.

      I really want to get a Vintage breadbox or radio to put the DVD player inside of.

      Translucent George Foreman grill? For real?

      Did it even have a power switch? Mine isn’t translucent, but my OG George Foreman grill does not even have a power switch, you literally gotta unplug that mofo if you don’t want your house to burn down.
