@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.
nevertheless, yeah I don't think it's a good idea to just ship it off to a company

It's like you're responding to bad LLM summaries of single paragraph comments...

adison verlice

@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.

I want to believe this is some kind of Andy Kaufman-esque account so bad...

adison verlice

@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.
