    And why, after we ridiculed this thing 10 years ago for being a low-poly abomination and then it disappeared from view for two decades, did they suddenly decide to release the thing with apparently zero changes in 2023?

    This is a terrible, ridiculed, 10 year old atrocity. How is it being taken seriously? I feel like I’m on crazy pills.

    e: number typos

        It was definitely previewed at least ten years ago. In my old job as UX designer, we were laughing at it around the office, and I haven’t worked there for 12 years. It may have been a limited preview in design circles, not a public announcement, but the design hasn’t changed.

          Hmmm, design and everything? That event with the broken windows was a lot last than that, and that’s when it really turned it into a meme

            At that point, it was a primarily visual design with some technical specs (obviously aspirational, there was no prototype yet).

      It’s made for a particular type of buyer. Some people like the way it looks. I could give you a hundred reasons why it has several tens of thousands of anxiously waiting customers but my thumbs would go numb first.
