Separate of the product itself...I have to compliment whoever designed the landing page! I'm not a UX/UI/page design expert, but here is what i experience: * the page loads quick - without overlays, distractions, etc. the page gets to the point, and fast * immediately i see a description of what the product is...this might sound funny, but tons of product sites lack this most basic thing! * In addition, the very brie…
This site is extremely broken by default, completely unreadable: https://imgur.com/a/9g1dGxp (default 100% zoom level) It is totally defective in 100% zoom, I need to manually zoom to 90% to make it be usable/as designed. It seems to activate cell phone mode for laptop screens. Edit: I don't get why people are downvoting this (-4 and counting). I enter the site and it is broken, until I change to a non-default zoom l…
If you're looking for something with an addressable LED matrix in a clock style form factor, the Ulanzi TC001 [0] for ~$50 is worth having a look at. Doesn't quite have the same aesthetic but inside it's just an ESP32 (flashed via the USB-C port) and there's various mature open source firmware replacements. I use awtrix[1] on mine and it's very easy to tie in HomeAssistant for doorbell notifications and that sort of…
This 16x32 RGB LED panel (6.75"x2.75", USB powered, Bluetooth programmable) was $15 for a while, now $26: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP5P7RY7 Programming it with your own code is still a mess, see "Panel Communication": https://github.com/auc0le/JT-Edit
But quite some people are happy to pay the extra $174 for not needing to hack together software, a housing, physical controls, etc.

The downvotes are probably because your comment was unnecessarily abrasive, saying things like "unreadable" and "abhorrent." The feedback is valuable, but the way it's expressed leaves something to be desired.

I was going to say that $200 seemed awfully expensive for a programmable kitchen timer. I've had a project idea for a while that would require a bit more juice. In short, I want to make a music practice timer for ADHD kids that avoid actually playing music during practice time. I want it to be beefy enough to run some simple ML for detecting instruments being played, and I only want the timer to count down while the…
If you need grunt and you don't specifically want the aesthetic of an led matrix panel you'd probably be better off with an old phone or tablet based thing.
The TC001 afaik doesn't have any mics inside anyway.

Side note to people reading this: in general, when suspecting a scam, don't blindly trust anyone who says "I'm ... and I confirm this is OK". This may be the same very person who you're suspecting of original scam ;). Not a theory, I have cases looks this every other week in my dayjob. In this case I believe the post is legit.
More important note to people reading this: use your brain. Is it likely that a scammer will create an extremely professional website and product, and then their scam is that ride the coat tails of another brand and try to keep that scam up with Hacker News comments ? (I think lots of HN people have issues with reality so just in case the answer is: absolutely not.)

It literally says: "Flipper Devices Designed by Flipper Devices Inc. © 2024. All rights reserved."
Yeah, and those “PayPal” emails telling me to enter my creds must be legit because they say “PayPal © 2024” at the bottom, with a link to paypal.com.
To be extra cautious, select it to make sure it's real text and not a screenshot of a real copyright notice - this is a common workaround. There is also one known proof of concept exploit using false glyphs in web fonts - this is why many security researchers disable the loading of fonts.

It looks like the inventor of the technique is now based out of Dubai (allergic to taxes? The governments that you lean on to enforce your reigstered trademarks need to be funded somehow).

This looks great! I've considered building a simple device with an LED matrix that looks similar to this, but could never figure out what gives the LEDs the muted look. All of the devices mentioned here (Tidbyt Gen2, Lamarca, Ulanzi, even the busy.bar) have it. Is the back-pannel just an LED matrix with a custom acrylic in front of it? How do they ensure the light from individual LEDs doesn't bleed into its neighbor?
It's pretty good hardware wise, it would be hard to knock up DIY for $50 even just in BOM.
