@Gina Have you seen the Companion cube shell? https://dbrand.com/shop/limited-edition/companion-cube
I would be great to have a first party option though@shantara š ok now we're talking.

@Gina aw I understand Gina!
I personally love salmon pink šš

Actually, the way that *any* tech company could make a shit ton of money by offering their devices in pink. I'd buy a pink monitor, a pink Android phone, a pink washing machine etc, as long as it has decent specs.
But nooooo. Catering to female consumers? I think āØļønotāØļø. Aside from headsets, everything must be boring colors.
@Gina I bought a pink samsung for my mom.

@Gina I think there are some of pink options out there. Just some random findings for #pinkharware

@Gina my partner did once buy a laptop based entirely on it being purple š

@soeren aside from the monitor those are all salmon pink š„²

@Gina Its a Galaxy A35, its been a while since I bought it though.

This rant was brought to you by the perfect hot pink phone BUT IT'S AN IPHONE EW. Why can't the Android girlies have anything nice. š„²
@Gina Come to the Dark Side. It comes in Pink!

@Gina Might I add to this, with regards to catering to female consumers:
Make hardware smaller.
To generalize:
Hardware and furniture are often designed with male proportions in mind, resulting in designs that are too large for women. (Think large hands, broad shoulders, tall backs).
(Also, let's hope no one tells 'em about the "pink tax" once they do decide that women are a legitimate customer base.)

@Gina You definitely need this then. Great for settling arguments in meetings.

@mahryekuh omg YES!! No phone ever fits in my hand.

@Gina @mahryekuh I facepalmed so hard when I found out that Android has a "one-handed mode", aka "just leave the top half of your screen blank".

I have an AMA starting now on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/SecurityCareerAdvice/comments/1otznp9/ama_ot_cybersecurity_jobs_training_ot_dfir_stories/

Thanks to everyone who replied. I thought about this when I was at Costco earlier this week. There's a lot of different categories of products available, including packaged and fresh food, clothing, prescription and non-prescription drugs, and electronics. One thing I didn't see were a lot of home repair tools or supplies. I think for a while you could ignore small repair jobs, but eventually you're going to need to fix things. So, my response would be around six months.

Time to Migrate by Tim Brey
Mastodon treasure @timbray just published what may be the best Mastodon pitch yet!
https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2025/11/03/Time-to-Migrate
"The simplest argument Ā· Have you noticed that social-media products, in the long term, canāt seem to manage to stay fun and safe and useful? I have. But thereās one huge exception... Iām talking about email... Why does email stay reasonably healthy? Because nobody owns it... Mastodonās like email that way. Plus it does all the...stuff that youāre used to."

What Do You Call an Ekranoplan With an Outboard Motor?
If thereās one thing [rctestflight] likes, itāsā¦ probably radio controlled test flights. If there are two things [rctestflights] likes, the second one is probably ground-effect vehicles, AKA Ekranoplans. Tired of having them flip over and crash, heās trying an an innovative solution: stick a planing hull on it.
Ekranoplans have a stability problem because the center-of-pressure isnāt static: as the wing gets closer to the ground, the high pressure cushion of air that creates the ground effect tends to put more lift rearwards. The net effect of that is to torque the vehicle nose-down, which is kind of a self-limiting problem at a fraction of a wingspanās altitude. The opposite problem is more concerning: the higher the ekranoplan gets, the more it wants to nose up, and thereās nothing to stop it. That leads to the vehicle flipping over.
In this video, [rctestflight] takes a few stabs at trying to solve the stability problemā he starts with a flat planing hull on the nose, with the idea that the vehicle will be nose-heavy enough to ride serenely over the water. Water isnāt actually flat, though, and the nose bumping over the waves wasnāt able to do what he wanted. He then switches to a feeler that is to ride on-surface to adjust the pitch of the nose-mounted propellersāup if it pokes the water, down if it canātā to provide passive pitch stabilization. That does work at some airspeeds, but produces a predictable porpoising effect, even with an elastic band for damping. That design might show promise with more refinement, but if youāre using something to give altitude feedback, it might as well be lidar.
The next iteration of the design places a pair of hydro-screw propellers on the nose, for all the world like a pair of outboard motors. Weāre not even sure what to call the resulting vehicle, but āmore stableā is unfortunately not it. It doesnāt seem to fly any worse, mind you, but certainly not well enough to justify the complexity, especially once he goes down the rabbit hole of adding suspension to the motors.
Ultimately he ends up refining the planning hull into a V-shape, since a V-hull can cut the waves and give a smoother ride than a flat-bottomed boat. We canāt help but agree with [rctestflight] that the standard configuration of a long hull and large horizontal stabilizer is likely the way to go, since the whole point of a ground-effect vehicle is to avoid the energy cost associated with skipping over waves. Still, itās hard to deny that these prototypes are hacks, and we appreciate the brief lesson in aerodynamics he provides in the video.
Given some of the other projects heās tackled, weāre kind of disappointed he didnāt try a hydrofoil.
