  • "Man, you guys are working the PR angle hard on this one. Can't wait to see how much you hype it when it's real."
    on: Unitree's Wheeled Dog Robot Can Run, Roll and Climb
  • "Ok, I promise I'll stop after this: look at the trellis in the fence. Where is the channel it's supposed to sit in? How is it fixed to the rails?"

  • "The tires never flex. The focus and alignment on the center of the body is reeeaaally smooth. The flailing of the legs as it falls or take a jump is just so rapid and jerky, with no apparent collision with the ground or resulting scratches. I'm having a very hard time seeing this as real footage."

  • "Notice the vinyl/leather couch doesn't flex under the weight of the wheels at all. And what are these places? They look like public places, but if so then where are the people? Why aren't the leaves on the trees blowing in the wind?"
    on: Unitree's Wheeled Dog Robot Can Run, Roll and Climb
  • "I think this is a rendering and not actual footage. Notice the camera movements as the dog struggles with friction point getting over the fence - the camera jitters with the movement of the dog. You see this in video games as a virtual camera floats along following the center of a  group of polygons."

  • "My mind immediately goes to tent poles with elastic cords pulling the segments together. I'm sure the fastening required to add elastic cords to these eyeglasses would ruin the aesthestic he's going for. Likewise, I can't help but imagine more magnets to "fold" and hold the temples against the frame for storage. Then again, I think the best solution is to just pay for the Lasik."

  • "Found it! They were TFal pans."
    on: Tons of Clever Design in This Cooking Pan
  • "My parents had a set of pans with detachable handles like that when I was a kid. The locking mechanisms rusted, jammed up, lost their grip strength, popped open when not held by hand, scratched up the paint on the outside of the pan, and ultimately went in the garbage."

  • "I think that might play a role. I'd be willing to bet it's just as much a push from clever packaging techniques using magnets as hidden clasps. My own laptop has several rare earth magnets in it despite using a SSD. They are placed along the edges and allow it to snap shut when closed. I think the crafting/tinkering/DIY world is driving a good amount of demand for hidden closure mechanics as well."
    on: An Ingenious Way to Easily Clean the Inside of a Bottle
  • "This is the same idea as what I use to clean the inside of my car's windshield: https://windshieldwow.com/. I recommend getting the screw-in pole adapter."

  • "I don't think those studio shots are showing a more vibrant paint scheme. I think that's just a bright orange light shining on the beige hook. Look at the color on the interior of the hairpin-shaped piece."
    on: Kutarq Studio's Minimal Folding Wall Hook for Ikea
  • "I'm confused. Motorcycles have had helmet locks for ages, like this. Just hook the D-ring from the chin strap through the U-bolt and click it shut. Use a key to pop it back out again."
    on: A Smarter Design Approach to the Lockable Bike Helmet
