minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink38•2 days 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@Tattoracklink23•2 days agoFun useful gadgets. A gadget for the sake of a gadget is just another word for “e-waste”.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•2 days 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@netvorlink1•edit-218 hours 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 days 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!
