Napping.Synth.Download@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 @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 |

someone built this entire electronic device with the sole purpose of being opened once, used, and probably thrown out - to the people with the goal to reduce electronic waste through self-repair. this is very much like sending PETA steaks and handbags.
