"This feels more like justified pollution than true sustainability. While it is framed as an innovative conservation effort, it sidesteps the more pressing issue: why events like Wimbledon are generating such an enormous volume of waste in the first place. Repurposing 55,000 used tennis balls as mouse nests may seem charming on the surface, but tossing thousands of synthetic balls into the wild is ludicrous "fix." It's just a lazy way of wrapping trash in a feel-good narrative that comes across as completely tone deaf to the deeper environmental concerns, such as the very habitat destruction they claim to be addressing. In the end, it reads less like meaningful conservation and more like virtue signaling intended to soften the optics of an event with a massive environmental footprint."

"A rolling billboard, makes perfect sense these days...."

"Moving away from plastic bags to paper bags.....lined with plastic. It's a step in the right direction but is it really boast worthy?"

"So now our dreams are reduced to prompts for generating simulations of themselves? Dreams offer a mysterious and deeply personal glimpse into the subconscious—but this novelty device replaces that mystery with a digital imitation, turning the experience into a self-referential loop. I'm not interested in what this tool does, and if I were, I could generate similar results using an AI prompt on the computer I already own. This kind of tech misses the point entirely and feels like a waste of money. I also share Alan Nomoto's concerns about it "learning"—which, let's be honest, is often just a euphemism for collecting and sharing our data."

"People who like 5 Minute Craft videos will love these cheapo entry level tools."

"That knob isn't going to get lost at all...haha! Seriously though, it needs to be attached to a strap. This whole thing looks like something from the early 2000s craze of wearable tech. Plus, I wouldn't want all kinds of things dangling off my side when a regular backpack or shoulder bag will do. "

"If it keeps the pervasive phones in pockets, I'm all for it. Phones are ruining games, concerts, any public event."

"I'd prefer a polarized screen or screen cover over this tiny cubby, which seems to create more problems than it solves."

"The curvy clip throws everything off and looks dated. The rest of the pen is nice."

"$700 for a beer cooler and air spritzer. Given the upside-down economics of today—where people happily shell out absurd amounts for Yeti and other "premium" brands—this thing should sell like crazy. Is this really design innovation?"

"What bothers me most is that this approach flattens genuine craftsmanship and intentional design into little more than a costume. It turns meaningful tools into cosplay accessories. And it's not just cameras—it's everywhere. Faux-analog turntables with Bluetooth, fake switches, retro dials with no actual mechanical control. They're skeuomorphic relics that serve marketing more than the user. Yes, people want to touch things, to feel connected to a process—but they're being offered a shortcut instead of a path. That shortcut is a simulated experience that requires no effort, no curiosity, and no real engagement. It's the fidget spinner of photography. And calling it "meditative" doesn't make it meaningful. It just makes it easier to sell."

"I'll take the $30 cast iron any time."
