Honestly I’m kind of okay with a noise violation camera if it’s calibrated to well, but this seems like kind of a ripoff for the town. Splitting revenue 60/40? $40k for a mic and cam plugged into a Raspberry Pi w/ a solar panel PLUS $10k for installation? Jeez, I’m in the wrong business.

I hate hate *HATE* how obvious it is that they are off-the-shelf, tape-on Temu garbage. "Oh just rotate it 90 degrees, no one will notice." Cheap bullshit.

I get the need to update the vintage HDD icon, but overall this flattening and reduction in depth/contrast looks cheap to me. Looks like Linux. If Apple fully cedes the aesthetic high ground, they lose the whole game IMO

Here’s another unimportant but revealing little tidbit I just noticed. They glued/taped what are nearly guaranteed to be cheap plastic gilded ornamentations to the Oval Office fireplace this month. Glue or tape are the least invasive options I can thing of, and I hang stuff on walls for a living.

This image could be greatly de-sphinctered by just getting rid of the radial gradients/feathering. And not using pink, obviously. Submitting to present on this subject (infographics that look like anuses) at next year’s festival.

A bending brake would have made it easier to be consistently precise. Also had to be careful not to melt the ikea desk. Idk, we did our best.
