"It could be designed in such a way that the leather tray can be removed from the wireless charger so that should it no longer work as a charger the leather tray can still be used as a tray.  Bonding the leather to other materials makes recycling or sage disposal more difficult. However, making objects from materials that remain attractive and useful for many years can result in less waste.  In any case, this object will likely last several years, longer than many a pair of boots or shoes - made from leather glued to polymer soles. "

"Pushing heavy wheeled objects isn't exactly a 'natural' activity. Even if it was, the man-made terrain isn't natural. The distance from other carers, the distance between home and shop... these vary greatly from area to area. Quality of paving or asphalt?  How is raising a child lazy?  Have you considered there boon of encouraging more people to use strollers over using cars for short journeys? Pollution from car exhausts, disc pads and tyres damaged the health of people other than the car owner.    "

"From Arstechnica: "This means it can drive up to three displays at once, a step up from the dual-display capabilities of the basic M1 and M2. It can drive two 6K displays at 60 Hz, plus either a 5K 60 Hz screen (if you use the third Thunderbolt port) or a 4K 60 Hz screen (if you use the HDMI port).""

""Ow! I fell on my [Allen] keys!“"

"I dare say you could construct a rack and pulley system for storing your bucket bike vertically from standard parts and materials, a hack saw and a drill. "

"Bicycles make more sense in densely populated areas where not everyone has a garage. If wall mounts make sense for bicycles, then they also make sense for ebikes - which are often heavier. Heavy to the point of not being practical for all users to lift up manually.  That said, a human-powered winch would likely be cheaper and more reliable than a motorised lift. "

"Okay, it's ruggedised when in its stowed offline configuration (with the cap screwed on) but it shares a flaw with most (all?) other power banks: the inserted cables protrude in such a way to place strain on the cables and ports should it be used to recharge a device whilst it is being carried in a bag.  This could be mitigated by placing the port in a recess such that the cable protrudes parallel to the main body of the power bank. "

"And yet we're not shown any images of the touchscreen UI.  Does the touchscreen register false touches if it is covered in rain drops? (As capacitive mobile telephone touch screens can do?) Research into automotive controls is suggesting that touchscreen controls are often a poorer choice compared to tactile buttons and knobs... to what extent is this research applicable to this use case?  Wheel chair users have manual dexterity across the whole range from unimpaired through to not being able to use their hands at all.  Microsoft and Sony both have modular systems of game controllers... could this device benefit from some mounting points on its frame so modular hardware buttons etc could be fitted to meet the wants and needs of its individual users? "

""It is the smallest possible form you could have for a folding utility knife that takes standard blades." That is demonstrably not true. If you wanted to, you might make the case that it is an optimum trade-off between compactness and other desirable traits such as ergonomics. There are likely to be several optimal points in that fitness landscape. "

"Bizarrely, from a distance they don't look bad - the regularity of the pockets reads as the lacing on the leather trousers worn by some rock guitarists.  Still, I can't read commentary if the coin pocket without thinking of Levi's marketing campaign in the 1990s that suggested that the coin pocket was an ideal place to ensure that one always carried a condom. "

">" wouldn't you simply invest in a dedicated keyboard that has all of these features?"Sigh. You really don't read comments, do you? As your readers recently pointed after one of your recent articles, placing a numpad to the left of the keyboard is a common thing for CAD users.  >"I'm not sure what you gain by detaching components and putting them away when they're not needed;" Strewth. You only buy and use the components that you want, as per the next paragraph that you wrote.  For some background, I suggest you search "Reddit SOLIDWORKS gamepad numpad" and read around real users problems, dilemmas and solutions. "

"All door handles should be made from copper, if we're looking at safety as a core part of function. Viruses and bacteria don't survive for very long on copper surfaces. Some hospitals have replaced the floor handles and push plates with copper versions.  But yeah, these sculptural door handles are a cleaning nightmare. Perhaps the point is to advertise that one is rich enough to employ cleaning staff..."
