"Front wheel motor? Seriously, in 2024? That together with an built-in proprietary battery makes this a big no-go for me. This bike is designed to be used and thrown away and not to be maintained and repaired."
"This chair was called "Uno", is designed av Norwegian designer Per Leiv Øie and produced by Norwegian company Ekornes (most know for their Stressless chair:)) in laminated Beech. "
"Wow, that's pretty bad all around. The shoddy design is one thing, but how's the engineering and safety of this thing? How well are the batteries protected etc etc ?"
"Huh. We had the exactly same solution in the basement of the apartment block I used to live in Oslo, Norway! Built in the late 1940's, it used electric ovens, but it might originally been installed with ovens connected to the central heater."
"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? "
"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!"
"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.."
