You're gonna flip out when you discover iPads
lol i like the look and much easier to stand on my desk then an ipad. It's a nice digital frame.

It's a $20 IPS panel, $2 display driver, a $3 microcontroller and $1 of memory which you get to pay someone $250 to glue into a cheap picture frame and load a gif to.

Got to love the future of art, eh?

Actually now I get why you like this.

It's $79 now. Was a little less before.

Let me live. I can treat myself once in a while to an overpriced frame that sits on my desk next to a Mac and Me statue.

I have cashed out like 4 times already on TS. Are they still really behind for adding the folks who joined over the last month or so?

This just perpetuates the money grab scenario. They have no problem producing and selling, but there are literally 10’s if not 100’s of thousands of people that have money they can’t access.

It is the Hotel California for your money

I understood being caught off guard back in like the end of January when a massive influx of folks came flying into the scene. But after a few weeks - it just became pretty evident that they were in over their head or just didn't want to spend the money to beef up servers, additional people, etc.

Hopefully they get their act together but I guess it has been relatively smoother the last few drops. Although I can't understand for the life of me why they give people so much time to complete the purchase during the drops. A 5 minute window should be more than enough time and it will expedite the process.

I don't think anyone was ready for that explosion of popularity.

Yea the ones I participated in were super smooth. As long as you get you that number then it was great. Went fast too. I think I was in line for an hour with whatever number I did have.
