minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink40•2 months agoI see a lot of negativity in the comments. And yeah, this thing probably isn’t something I’m going to get, but at least they are trying something that isn’t a generic rectangle of glass like all the others. I miss the days of fun gadgets.
minus-square@Tattoracklink27•2 months agoFun useful gadgets. A gadget for the sake of a gadget is just another word for “e-waste”.
minus-square@netvorlink2•2 months agoI get it, but a gentle reminder, often the best way for society to have an awesome projects is to have a lot of projects.
minus-squarehumble peat diggerlinkfedilinkEnglish7•2 months agoI like the generic rectangle block of glass. Don’t understand why they insist on a physical keyboard.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•2 months agoi am personally sick of shiny rectangles. physical keyboards are the buttons on your cars dash instead of the shiny rectangle on your car’s dash.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink5•2 months agoCars’ buttons need to be used while preferably not looking at them, that’s a pretty different situation to a smartphone
minus-square@netvorlink1•edit-22 months agoBeing able to use a keyboard without looking at it is a good thing. Only thing that makes it “different situation” for smartphone is that they just don’t have the keyboards. (And some of us kinda accepted that…)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoI don’t mind it, but I also don’t hate that people are trying something new! Maybe it fails, but maybe it’s awesome!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•2 months agoI much prefer physical keyboards and find it difficult to use touchscreen, so a mobile, qwerty keyboard sounds great to me.
