"Really disagree with your last sentence, just look at how mechanical watches thrive in our digital world. The approach Lincoln is taking, I'd argue,, is a very dated approach. This has been seen on concept cars for at least 20-30 years, but real world implementation was hindered by availability, affordability and dare I say it, real world usability. Problem is that screens have just become a symbolic artifact, something that's easy to market and communicate, while the real world use is, to be honest, quite limited. Let's also talk about the longevity of displays and the software/firmware. Will it still be supported in 5 years? 10 years? "

"I believe it's quite common to produce renders after the design is set, to give exactly this impression; That the manufactures have managed to keep it very close to the conceptual idea. Just look through the press packs when cars are launched.."

"Looks handy, but I get slightly worried when I see it clamping a carbon seat post or frame. I'd be very careful about doing that..."

"My Nothing Ear (1) has been faultless and I don't mind the transparent case beeing heavily scratched, which I actually thought would be annoying. And isn't it refreshing when a company comes along with their own distinct ideas? Kudos to that!"

"A case of "just because you can, doesn't necessarily mean you should.""

"I'm I the only one who feels like this is driven to much by rational engineering but fundamentally without understanding what people actually want and need? In a way this is a clever lighting solution with different functionalities embedded, but I'd never want this is in my home. A lamp as an object is so much more than a lighting source, and the buying decisions involved are much different than f.ex a vacuum cleaner. It also feels ridiculously over-engineered for the job it has do; Dyson should take a lesson on how to do more with less."

"Is there another reason than engineering limitations, that you sit so high when it's equipped with snow tracks? Can't imagine a high cog is ideal when riding in snow?"

"I don't know, I've seen many student and concept projects like this and it seems like a good idea, but in my opinion this is product that shouldn't be necessary. I'm pretty sure the thinking from PM B&D side is that this will make the total addressable market for power tools larger, by people buying a double set of power tools. These, rather pristine products in white, for light tasks inside, and another set for more serious and dirty work. In reality this is completely unnecessary, driven only by sales and not by real needs. I think this is actually rather silly."

"My inner bs alarm goes off when it's creators claim it would comfortably fit in a modern art exhibition.. gah. "

"Maybe all operations from Taiwan should be the first step?"

"It's a nice table, but my concerns are about the economics. This doesn't look to be sand casted, which has a low investment and tool cost, but casted, which comes with a much higher investment cost."

"Sorry to be grumpy, but this surely a load of bs. A rather lame lesson in how to keep a brand with financial troubles alive."
