Please disclose your affiliation; you to linked to snips.ai in each one of your comments over the past month.

In https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14856598 his/her affiliation is stated as co-founder. This behavior alone has convinced me to never consider their products. Which is sad, I could see myself using the product for my own projects, but I don't want to do business with spammers.

Hey majewsky, of course I'm a co-founder and I'm looking for people interested in building on raspi!

I'm sorry to see you think this is spam, but I mostly comment on the posts that we have sent on HN, or on posts about Raspberry Pi to let people know about the platform

I think I mostly do about one comment per week, so I don't feel like spamming exactly :)

I take your point and I will state my affiliation clearly next time, thanks!

I've long imagined something like that: a card-sized (including thickness) full-color display devoted to displaying, say, an entire movie. Given ultra-thin displays like OLED, dirt cheap storage, and "free" dedicated processing, you could hand out videos like sales brochures or cheap paperbacks. Amazing how technology has advanced.

Tangential, but at some point of the last 15 years I thought the music industry might move to distributing what amounts to dedicated MP3 players/USB sticks. The simplest ones would be squares with album covers (shrunk like CD covers have shrunk from vinyl), but artists could get 3D creative. You could wear your music in necklaces or in your belt. People would flock to these things as conspicuous consumption (as they…

This once existed as "Playbutton" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwoTlgyUYlE

edit: actually from the video description these are still released with new content in Japan

There's something along those lines - MQS SD:

Yeah except that would create massive amounts of electronics litter..

You can already buy single use phone chargers at convenience stores which, while ecologically horrifying, also speaks to how the economics of mass manufacturing work. Then again, are single use phone chargers any more ecologically horrifying than non-rechargeable AA batteries or have they simply been around for much longer and have become mundane.

I recently saw those, I was shocked by both the price and the fact they were single use, surely a charging port and the extra circuitry would barely touch the BoM?

I've got a battery bank integrated into my wallet anyway, so I won't be caught out.

I would pay money for said course. I'm trying to piece together my own homegrown manufacturing curriculum through a combination of books, googling, diy projects, and YouTube. I don't expect to create world class engineering marvels on my own, but to be able to develop such a polished finished product as OP would be incredible. Any tips on where to start as far as 3D modeling and enclosure design goes?

sounds like an interesting idea but as pointed out above, with these kinds of projects, equipment access is the main hurdle.. I use Autodesk Fusion 360 for the modeling. I really like it though to be honest it's the only 3d program I ever tried and I just picked it up recently

Thumbs up for Fusion 360 - for a fully fledged production ready CAD/CAM package you can't beat the price, and it's easy to get starting.
