#23For those without a Twitter account confused by its hostile UI, here is a link to the video https://twitter.com/atc1441/status/1762969015197053110
I wish people didn't post twitter links to HN. They're almost always useless now you have to have an account.

#24I'm sorry, that is cool and all, but since 2020 when somebody made doom run on a pregnancy test I am waiting for something as impressive. Even running it on a toothbrush seem "meh" to me in comparison, although certainly a feat.

This is a power product manufacturer. I'm sure at some point they considered porting this to an actual chainsaw; the lack of screen must have been a blocker. I guess a lawnmower is the next best thing they could come up with.
With the advent of good battery chainsaws we’re only a few years away from one having a diagnostics screen, and which point doom on a chainsaw will be possible.

#28ESP32 in a toothbrush? What? Why?
In this time and age, the question is 'why not'? If customers want a bluetooth-connected toothbrush and are willing to shell out the extra $5...

They simply used the wrong link, its not really a lack of account or hostile UI
not being able to view a post that a linked-post is replying to is a hostile UI
Can you imagine HNers in any other context defending a change from entirely open to mostly closed that was made purely to force people to create accounts / boost ad revenue?

I don't think that engineers must design product only because of "why not doing it if we can do it". There is a ethical value to what we design and produce. Some technologies are better than others.
