This just reminds me that the Sony Vaio UX series was way, way before it's time: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-VGN-UX280P-4-5-inch-Laptop-Processor/dp/B000IALP88

Of course, that thing was way more expensive, but even today, it'd crush this thing in performance. I was also interested in tiny mobile PCs that didn't suck and ran "full" windows. I was super excited about netbooks, but those had anemic performance with the original atom line(s), the Surface Pro 2 was a near perfect machine in my eyes (when it came out), but it was bulky and battery life sucked. With the improvement of the Gen 4+ intel mobile chips, the ultraportable form factors got really nice, but manufacturers moved away from the super compact machines (still talking about full windows feature sets here). The new Surface Go is pretty good, but also running low end CPUs. The one differentiator is that the low end CPUs are actually decent these days, but now that there's ultrabooks and 2-in-1s, I feel like the draw of machines in this form factor just simply aren't good enough to live with the compromises - namely display resolution, touch sensitivity, and foldable, compromised-layout keyboards.

Yeah but I already have something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Tupperware-801-Round-Cake-Taker/dp/B00005S6IR

Mine even has a plastic insert with handles on the sides for easy cake removal. Works great.

Advantage of this that I can see is the gripping bits in the side but they seem a bit over the top. Also I'm not seeing a cover and that seems like a thing I would require for any cake transporting needs.

Has anyone read the excerpt available on Amazon? I don't think it's anything special, but I don't know a lot about writing.

I think this is one of the most reasonable Kickstarters I've seen in this subreddit. If the book is good or at least mediocre (the concept looks like it can appeal to at least some people), the author will probably get some fans that would really like the fairly priced rewards. I just think it would've made more sense for him to wait for the e-book to become more popular, and then start a campaign (if necessary) to make printed editions of it.
Edit: Typo

If you give $10 at kickstarter he will ship it in December.

But the same guy has the same exact calendar on amazon, pre-order to ship in July, for $8.37.

Weird.

Here's the back of the calendar. Wow. Quality stuff here, guys!

Product Dimensions: 10.9 x 8.3 x 0.2 inches

Oh man that's huge. Do I have room on my wall for that.

You may enjoy leveling up to this for your dinner parties

I'm pretty sure we already have a modern translation of the Bible, and it's a fucking graphic novel.

I can guarantee that the batteries can't provide enough current to keep the head heated. You will have to wait for it to warm back up between scoops.

Oh, look, $20 on amazon. What's that you say in the reviews? It cools off with 1-2 scoops and you have to wait a couple of minutes for it to warm back up? You don't say!

Woof yeah, looks like they might be doing an OEM thing: here or here - the product that Jooyon has is called the "V15FPG" but I'm sure there are others out there that look nearly identical.

Just doing a google search with the specification from Vinpok and Joyoon leads to many results. Here are versions of it for sale on Ebay here or here (brand G-Story model GS156WT). Here it is on Amazon (VIOTEK LinQ).

I wonder if IndieGoGo / KickStarter have policies against reselling products and using KS / IG to fund them. Not really financing a project if all the campaign is doing is rebranding and reselling? Seems pretty sketch, but at the very least feels dishonest.

>I am also a programmer, well-adjusted to HTML/HTML5 and highly experienced in GML

Making a smartphone's a joke compared to the leet skillz required for writing markup.

Also this.

I feel like this is the equivalent of taking a pair of alligator clips on the plug of the thing you want to plug in and hooking them to two paperclips and shoving them in the socket.

Here, I found where you can get 5 adapters for only $10.27

There's a few hobbyist "build your own jet engine" books (here's one from 1995). I'm sure his $2,500 would buy a few copies!

u/Mp5QbV3kKvDF8CbM · 10 pointsr/shittykickstarters

This nut has already published a 'lottery-winning' book that is for sale on Amazon: Mr. Lotto.

Whoa, his previous Kickstarter campaign is a doozy...

u/meta_perspective · 94 pointsr/shittykickstarters

Holy crap it takes them $235 to make a single unit? That's surprising considering it's primarily plastic [injection mold] with some off-the-shelf electronics.

Edit: I wondered how much each major part of the Coolest Cooler would cost if I purchased each component individually:

u/MathildaIsTheBest · 8 pointsr/shittykickstarters

Here is the Amazon link. The comments are mostly people angry about not receiving the book through Kickstarter.

u/WhatImKnownAs · 2 pointsr/shittykickstarters

You might think it looks like one of those "tactical" self-defense pens - but you must be mistaken, because that would make it a weapon, and weapons are prohibited on Kickstarter. They don't mention any of those words (although they slipped once on Twitter with #tactical).
