This thing pulls 2.3 amps under normal use? JFC do a little power optimization y'all

It's early days and WiP. Give them a chance.

It just doesn't even seem to have ever occurred to them.

@SpaceNoodle

While input and feedback is good, there are ways of delivering it without making it demoralising.

"them" is "one and half people" (per their "about"). Give them some time... Or, you know, pitch in.

Unfortunately, I'm out of spare time between my full-time job doing some of that, and my hobby projects doing even more of that.

I could probably spare a little time to give out some pointers and field some questions, though.

Ok, now do you get the irony? Or you’re the only one with limited time?

Also, it’s just a prototype. You’re complaining about how bad the special effects are while reading the script of a movie.

You'll also notice I'm not hawking incomplete products.

If this is merely at the concept stage, as your metaphor would imply, why advertise the battery size and life as being so bad?

[-] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Wow. You must be fun at parties.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I am, thank you.
