Very nice, but probably a bit too expensive to just hand out. I knew a chap that had a similar hardware business card (I don't remember exactly what it did, but it wasn't as cool as this one). I remember that his card was pretty scuffed up, and he insisted I give it back, after he handed it to me. Bit weird.
Amazing project, but the font on the back of the card is gross.
That’s cred, man. Real cred. Wack font. Circuits exposed. Pixels with fat borders between them. An ugly charging port. But more stuff, packed into a small sleek volume than reasonably possible. Working perfectly. That’s not Jobs. Oh, no. It’s effing Woz. The guy is a true hardware engineer.
We getting our stories from Reddit now?
You’re going to get downvoted obviously but this appeared on Embedded (or electronics?) and then made its way here. It’s a bit telling the actual hacking communities are on “that awful site” that’s so beneath us, meanwhile our pristine HN is full of gushing AI ads as front page hacker material.

>But that's my 2 cents. Or is it really ChatGPTs 2 cents? Copy-pasting LLM responses is as useful as posting a "let me google that for you" link. It's a lazy response at a minimum.
It’s better than that because it includes the content - more akin to searching and putting the result you find in the comments as a guess. The anti AI HN comments are the new anti Bitcoin - your replies are much worse than someone sharing the gpt output.
It's like having a group conversation in person and one member of the group contributes nothing but things they read off Google.

I only mention this because this was posted here at, approximately, 08:00 EST 2028-08-08, and posted on Reddit at, approximately, 00:00 EST 2028-08-08.

Maybe you wouldn’t give em to just anybody, but anybody who gets one is guaranteed to remember you! I’d probably even keep it in my desk to play with. After a few weeks I’d accidentally have this guy’s email/linkedin memorized for eternity
I'm just imagining interviewing a candidate for a job involving embedded systems and this dude pulls this out at the end and says "If you have any other questions, my email's right on there." What an absolute baller this guy is.
If you like this, you'll also love Mitxela's fluid simulation pendant [0], and likely all of his work! I'm consistently astounded by how informative and enjoyable his stuff his. He shares so much, so freely and it's so well produced, with a lovely voice to boot. Inspirational! Watch his vids, read his write-ups or both! We need more people like this.

Wow that's a nice design. £1200 for one though.. oof.

I half expected this to have a button/mode to show custom QR codes...
