@TheZeldaZone @iFixit yeah, if you zoom in you can read the letter. David Moses from Grow Team "saw their website" and thought they'd send a book about... growing their business. What, like 1) find websites, 2) order marketing material from us 3) send it to contact info. 4) order more from us   @iFixit Can you flash the firmware with a special Thank You note to send back to them? The people Mark Rober did this to didn't deserve it in the slightest, but these fuckwads absolutely do @AVincentInSpace you cannot be serious to say someone smashing open your spouse's car window to steal the $500 item they bought is morally absolved of all consequences, while somebody sending an accidentally offensive greeting card in misguided good faith to a prospect deserves to be punished(?) rather than correctively informed. if you were serious about that insane moral warp, you'd have substantiated why you claim that. you are way too edgy online. reign it tf in 💀💀 @iFixit I think peta is an animal organization, I don't think they will take that idem. also it seams really cool. imagine having a greeting card in the form of a computer. most likely they wanted to send you a literally email, what that email being physical. that'd actually call for a good experiment in my own home, to see if I can get a physical battery powered greeting card that will automatically display something like this when opened. love the guys creativity  @adisonverlice@tweesecake.social @iFixit@mastodon.social @adisonverlice @iFixit i think you may have missed the point. ifixit advocates for the reduction of ewaste. a greeting card like this is designed to be only used once before being thrown away. it is designed to be ewaste. mailing an electronic greeting card to ifixit is like mailing a steak to peta. @leafeon @adisonverlice @iFixit On top of that, I betcha that products' repairability score will be terrible due to a glued down battery and a glued chassis with no user-replacable parts! :floofTired: @snep my little project is not gonna be sent anyware or have anything done to it after I do this experiment, so I am not worried about repairing it. it's an old android 4.2 tablet, so I don't care if it's thrown away. hell, someone can come on the part in front of the house and take if if they want, I personally do not care. but if not, that shits getting thrown away lol. @adisonverlice @snep @jargoggles I don't use LLMs for replays, other than for grammar purposes. and even then, I only use grammar fixing tools for bigger paragraphs where I really need my point to get across. @adisonverlice @jargoggles nope, this account is hosting normal content and this is an actual person. I actually joined tweesecake back in 2024. but I cover real topics, and ot silly ones like these, so I was just curious. to me, it just sounded like a cool thing to do. again, not that I would send or recommend sending one of these, but I think it was silly eitherway @adisonverlice I wouldn't call the project you mentioned a product. With product, I was refering to the commercial greeting card iFixit got sent. My reply was not a direct response to your project idea, to be fully transparent. @adisonverlice @iFixit "email being physical" ...that's just called "mail"? You really don't need to send a screen with a battery, to forward a message to someone. And, I wouldn't call something that's somehow more useless than those toy laptops for children "creative" either. It might be fancy, but it's completely impractical @grunge_fox o trust me, I do a lot of unconventional things myself. and also, i'm not saying it should be done, it's just cool to have it happen. I don't send my mail in electronic computer throwaways, but still i'm gonna experiment with those in my home to see if I can get a similar result. I already have a tablet that is a very old samsung that I plan to throw away, so what the fuck? let's fuck it up and throw it away lol @keko I don't know what it is, but i'm unable to view it. can you provide image description? @Cattz o the point of the post? I think the point was that ifixit received this battery powered laptop with a greeting card and was upset that they sent it. don't know what the comparison between that and peta was about, but I think the post was basically, don't send that again. personally, I wouldn't send that either...silly idea, but I wouldn't send that @adisonverlice sending a non reusable full of needed-for-more-important-stuff-components greeting card to a person worried about excesive e-waste ≈ sending animal products to PETA. Celebrating the non-sense card sent to a person that was against said card, quite a bit tone-deaf. @Cattz i'm just saying it was silly idea. again, I don't recommend sending cards this way, but I think it was creative, or silly at the very least. definitely weird, but again, I can't complain @iFixit To make the best of a bad situation, is there maybe a local makerspace where someone might at least be able to use its harvested parts? @iFixit it looks like there are quite a number of complaints about this company doing dumb things like this. Even requiring signatures on their junk mail to harass people. @iFixit Off topic: this might be the first HDR video I have seen in my Mastodon feed  @iFixit@mastodon.social is that thing rewritable at least? @iFixit troll them (like I trolled my manager) and send it back :blobcat3c:
https://donotsta.re/notice/AlyNclLLeIaEL01M7U @iFixit Ages ago i looked into it. There are several Chinese companies creating those e-waste things for different uses. It was used in germany to promote VW cars at some point. Friends of mine received one, because they showed interested in a VW at a dealer ship. After i got it and played a little with it, i gave it away to @CyReVolt. He found the perfect content for it: A talk about #VW #Diesegate https://mastodon.social/@CyReVolt/103206136980663551 @iFixit on a separate note: #smartpaper can not come soon enough, carbon-footprint-wise (which is to say I expect way more 'disposable' devices to cloud the commercial space; lighter would be better) i dare to say marketing people are the worst. nobody is as careless about the negative effects of their work. they just care about selling anything, no matter the cost for environment and society. all the shit that’s sold is only sold in big quantities due marketing people „just doing their job“  Reprogramming possibilities? 🙂🤷♂️ If so then compose your own message and return to sender. @iFixit they have a reputation for being annoying. Expect a million calls insisting on talking to your "owner." I look forward to the rest of the tear-down. Seems like you're off to a good start (like why the hell is there a USB C plug) @iFixit As some people here already mentioned it, I fully support the idea to turn this thing into a Doom handheld gaming console. @iFixit these guys are STILL shipping these?! I got one almost 2 years ago and hacked it. |
