💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🎒🏞️ The Smithsonian traces backpack #design from a two-million-year-old practice to Ötzi’s hazel-and-board frame around 3300 BCE, then follows improvements through a #CivilWar cavalry officer’s patented canvas-and-metal pack, a #Duluth #canoe-hauling design, #aluminum-frame #mountaineering models, and the nylon #JanSport that made the #backpack a school staple. Roughly 450 million are sold annually.

Re: getting a new #coffee maker (just a #drip machine, nothing fancy), my turn to vent about companies being absolutely awful at industrial design, user interface, and #user experience... again. I swear, #consumer #product companies were far better at these things 30 years ago.
My needs are simple: I want a drip coffee maker that takes a cone filter and has an on/off #switch or button. There are some out there that have a physical rocker switch, generally an illuminated one down low on the right side of the unit. Those are great - you're controlling the power directly. Except the one extra feature I want is for the thing to turn off the carafe hot plate after a period of time if you accidentally forget to turn it off, and you only get that with an electronic unit..
That delay period doesn't need to be configurable or anything, just as long as it has a sensible value. Two hours is common. But one I looked at ticked all my boxes, except the automatic shutoff was only 40 minutes. That's ridiculous; many people drink coffee over a longer period of time than that.
But every time I need a coffee maker, I have to page through the specs of 15 or 20 models to find one that fulfills the meagre requirements I have - and then it has a ton of "features" I don't want, which just push up the price and make it harder to use. And this has been getting worse.
Today, I bought a Braun unit. Stupidly expensive (CDN $90).

The EU’s repair policies are changing the way tech is designed.
From phones and laptops to coffee machines and earbuds, new legislation is making it easier to fix tech products.

Und selbst das Gehäuse ist Computergeschichte: Gestaltet wurde der D4a von Karl Clauss Dietel, später bekannt für Erika-Schreibmaschinen und das Simson S50/S51.
Lehmann dachte den persönlichen Rechner. Dietel gab ihm eine Form für den menschlichen Arbeitsplatz.

叮当猫｜初照 M3 改装套件 a 款
前两天我收到了朋友 Toby 寄来的，由他操刀设计的新相机。这是一台全新的 CCD 相机，采用复古的旁轴造型，但用比较现代的手法来重新呈现。
尽管只是一台玩具相机，但在做工和设计上都足够认真，镜头模组也是一线手机品牌旗舰机型的模组，作为成年人的挂饰玩具来说，实在是过于物超所值了。据说这项目原本要纳入到某个知名设计品牌旗下，最终因为合作议程过于复杂而暂时搁置。
话说回来，因为造型实在太有特色了，而且在设计上几乎是故意预留了给玩家们二次创作的空间（镜头处台阶，补光灯处金属挂口），所以我实在忍不住要给它设计制作一组拓展套件：
扁嘴遮光罩 + 球形握把
♥️ 打印配置见此：MakerWorld｜叮当猫｜初照 M3 改装套件 a 款
最开始的想法源自于传统小型相机的方形遮光罩，因为我拿到这台相机的第一感觉，就是它比我以为的小太多了，所以我不希望增加一个喇叭形开口的遮光罩。富士这种小罩子就很符合我的需求。
于是我先从这个造型下手，打印出实物来验证，再一点点修改造型，验证推敲，直到有了最后这个从圆过渡到扁的连续曲面造型。
多轮实测过，不遮挡镜头有效视野。
至于握把的想法，最初源自一些相机和手机的兔笼、侧把，那些装置可以辅助人双手握持和操作。当然，对于一台这么小又这么轻的玩具相机来说，似乎没有很充足的原因来增加这么一个搭手的位置，直到……
我试图把它的滤镜滚轮当解压玩具快速滚动时，突然意识到：
这么小的机身，我的左手搓滤镜滚轮搓得不是很爽啊！
这个念头闪过之后，几乎没有备选方案，我直接认定了要摆一个球在这里，作为握把。原因非常简单、直接：
球形足够简洁明了，跟这台相机很合衬，只要试出来一个合适的尺寸，握手里肯定很舒服，形式感很强，颜色搭得合适的话简直就像原生配件。
所以，这个球形握把的所有设计和验证，几乎都集中在寻找合适的尺寸、插槽的配合精度、锁定卡位的公差，以及用设计去解决打印设置的问题，这一类结构和工程方面的事情上。这个握把加上之后，我左手拇指伸过去搓滤镜滚轮简直太舒服了！整个造型的可爱程度也直线上升！因为这就是叮当猫的尾巴啊，谁不喜欢叮当猫呢！
最终的套件成品一共三个零部件：
遮光罩外壳、遮光罩内衬和球形握把
