It does cover people interrupting you to ask “ok but how long will you be busy?” :) unless you want to replace your taped clip art every minute or so.
At this price, you can get a second Monitor facing outward and display how long you’ll be busy on that. In fact, you can get 2 monitors and another computer and have some change left. This is a cool product, especially design-wise, but there are much cheaper solution for this very small problem.
Back when I worked in an office and had to do deep thinking without interruptions, I'd string up a bit of yellow police-like tape that I stole from the SGI offices that were closed during Shoreline concerts that said "SILICON GRAPHICS". Worked perfectly.

You have not said what the market is. Recording studios have a solution. And probably don't use pomedero. And the reason for the indicator I assume is to stop people barging in and stop people saying silly stuff thinking their off air so it needs to be inside and outside the room. So who is this device for again?

This doesn't let you do deep work! Probably the opposite, it is a gimmick that will attract a nerd mob to your desk to ooh over it.
I'm a bit dumbfounded by the price tag of $189. Am I wrong?
It is a bit pricey, but probably not overpriced. This kind of niche product is not going to get good economies of scale, those custom molded plastic parts are going to get pretty expensive when not being produced by the million.
Is there any message from the Flipper Zero people that this is actually their device? It’s not mentioned on https://www.flipperdevices.com/ , neither on https://flipperzero.one/ or their Instagram? They have been plagued with peopling scamming people in their name before
This is at least the 3rd version of this product idea that I’ve seen in the past decade. Certainly the nicest design! The first time I saw this was some friends of friends who were trying to make it into a startup. They quickly discovered that their users liked the idea of a busy light for the office, but didn’t like to update it on or off throughout the day. So after the first few days people just defaulted to leavi…
That is certainly an issue. However, in reference to this design, I don't understand the point of having apps like weather and notifications if the large screen that would display such things is meant to face away from you so that others can see your status.

For context, we are replying to a comment putting that marketing into question. Therefore the "RTFA" card is not in your deck to play. (I say with a tongue in cheek tone: no flamewar intended!) In particular GP said: > For colleagues, after the first month or so, everyone will pretty much find the best way to approach others. If you still need a device for that, then there’s a problem in communication that you need a…
Reductio ad absurdum: If its for recording studios, fine. If not, get off my lawn, its just reinventing having a conversation. It's telling that both obstinate refusals to not understand what its for end up on unrelated stories about bosses. Let's call it PHB derangement syndrome. It never seemed likely it was that confusing, it's pretty hard to have been alive from 2020-2024 and claim that there's never any reason f…
Sucks to be people whose monitor faces the wall.
