Dildos enter the chat,that shit is technology.
I’m pretty sure the animal they used to make transparent stuff went extinct, like the one they used for the original McRib.
Sail into that gentle sea, the majestic Translucent Bison
8bitdo has a retro style universal controller :3 its good.
Fun fact: Transparent electronics are a thing because prisons require radios, TV, etc to be able to be seen inside and companies later realised they looked cool.
Why did they end up deciding it’s not cool or worth doing anymore?
Thanks criminals (?)
I thought they’d also test the moulds with clear plastic so it was obvious if there were internal defects due to things like poor flow into part of the mould
Noooooo, people could then see the repairability before buying it. We can’t have that!!!

Good bot 😊 👍
The Fairphone 3 has a translucent case, and I will never understand why they didn’t stick with this design. It’s like childhood memories in phone form.
Nothing phone has a transparent aesthetic going on also. Shame they don’t have one with an audio jack or I’d go for it for sure
They brought this back for the Xbox controller https://a.co/d/4PlCsxi
I got one it’s so sweet
I have my transparent purple Gameboy tucked in a safe place. My husband had me get rid of my Nintendo 64 a few years ago, and I’m still not over it.
I love when technology looked like candy. Now all we get is these boxes
There’s a few Nintendo Switch mods that have done this, you can buy the shells.
