Also even if the prototype in the video is fully functional, they are not gonna have these delivered by August this year with a $500k goal lmao.

“Minimal”

At the software level, the Minimal Phone is based on a customized version of Android 13 and uses the MediaTek MT6769 SoC. It has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The front camera has a resolution of 8 MP and the main camera 16 MP, of which the latter comes with flash. Bluetooth and WiFi for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are supported. NFC, GPS and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor are also included, as are a compass and gyroscope.

A fingerprint sensor? 16 MP camera? This is just a regular phone with a worse display. The 2009 BlackBerry Tour had 128MB of RAM and a 3.2 MP camera, and it was high end. I realize there just isn’t a market anymore for a device that doesn’t have these features that could be priced under $400, but it really speaks to a lack of imagination in the industry.

until they show us a photo of it i still think he ate it, and this is a cover up

I choose to believe that this is from an alternate future where AIWA was more successful and bought the Walkman brand from Sony.

I don’t know if it’s not allowed, but it’s not good. Nothing here looks like anything. Even ignoring the meaningless labelling, if a human made this, I would wonder if that human had any brain at all. Why the tube? What is that window for? What is that spectrogram (??) strip. Why is there a camera lens? I do think it’s interesting that we have the technology to collate and mush up all these design elements together, but I believe that clarity and economy are both important elements of good industrial design, and AI is capable of neither.

Actual source is Italdesign, the Italian company that designed this concept car for VW. It was built on the Golf Syncro, which was the first Golf with four wheel drive. Here is a good video explaining Italdesign’s automotive history leading up to the Orbit.

also why are you on the fediverse if you’re gonna shill for corporate social media?

that line isn’t the horizon, it’s the edge of the shadow that separates day from night time. There’s no way to perceive it at ground level, but if you’re high in the air and the sun is near the horizon it’s visible.
