Ick! It just feels crappy and bad and cheap. Plastic things make creaky noises and fall apart, and they feel bad to interact with. Idk if it’s a sensory thing or I’m just an asshole, but I fully believe that under FALGSC I would never have to touch this shit.
They don’t make glass and metal TV remotes or game controllers. I can never replace my Kindle Oasis because every other e-reader is made of the cheapest, worst plastic.
How can I just …not have to touch plastic anymore?
get one of those metal 3d printers and make housings for every little gadget. or wood might be cheaper. anything that’s a clamshell kinda deal you can take apart can be any material you want.
it would be very funny to glue up one of those “hide a gun in the book” spy things for an e-reader.
Those home SLA printers honestly should be illegal. There is a reason these things are run in clean rooms and enclosures, I wince every time I see some youtuber standing over the exposed block of graphite powder while wearing a basic dust mask or sometimes nothing at all. In the same way one might wince seeing a picture of a toddler standing next to the demon core.
