They had to go with a picture that makes the screen look cracked. And of course the article itself is mostly just copium.
A couple lowlights:
LMAO. I guess those "trifold" wallets I've seen for decades were false advertising. They only fold twice!
"this trifold only folds twice! false advertising" really kills me lmfao
So it's not just geography yanks are stereotypically bad at, its geometry as well
Haha yeah they're coping hard there. Like they're still under this delusion that China will not be able to compete with US offerings on the global market. I always wonder if people writing this genuinely believe it or they're just cynically spinning a narrative for the US public.
Yup, and I love their ultimate fallback cope when all else fails. "They're only outcompeting us because they use evil commie subsidies! We would totally win in a Free Market^TM^ fight!" As if the West hadn't been heavily subsidizing its industry and agriculture for at least the last century.
ETA: not to mention the constant accumulation by dispossession since capitalism's founding. Nope, nothing to see there...
Exactly, the whole argument for capitalism is that it's supposed to be more efficient than state driven planning. Yet, here we see how central planning is clearly outperforming market driven allocation. All of a sudden it's cheating!
Yeah, at ~$3600, I certainly won't be rushing to buy it. But it's definitely neat as a first of its kind, and something that can be iterated from.
