Noooooo, people could then see the repairability before buying it. We can't have that!!!!

I’m pretty sure the animal they used to make transparent stuff went extinct, like the one they used for the original McRib.

Fun fact: Transparent electronics are a thing because prisons require radios, TV, etc to be able to be seen inside and companies later realised they looked cool.

That phone. My first love had that phone in her bedroom. I walked 20 miles to see her once when I was 14. Man.

She married my brother a decade later haha.

Not even transparent. Colorful design, actual individuality, recognizable imagery, etc.

Now, everything have to be like "a letter or two in one color, inside a flat geometric shape in another color", and the most exuberant logo you can find in a well known product is like the firefox icon that just moved from an actually colorful and detailed fox on a clean blue planet like earth to a 3 and a half color based orange circle and blue dot.

This is too woke for half of America now.

I have my transparent purple Gameboy tucked in a safe place. My husband had me get rid of my Nintendo 64 a few years ago, and I'm still not over it.

I miss this asthetic so freaking much...

They brought this back for the Xbox controller https://a.co/d/4PlCsxi

I got one it's so sweet

steam deck has it, steam deck fixing society

I love when technology looked like candy. Now all we get is these boxes

It'll work, just shove em full of RGB lights and they'd fit in perfect with modern builds.

I found a freaking NEWTON in a desk drawer at work last week. With power adapter, but no stylus. Still works though!

The Fairphone 3 has a translucent case, and I will never understand why they didn't stick with this design. It's like childhood memories in phone form.

To be fair tempered glass is still going strong among gaming PCs.

Nothing Phone

8bitdo has a retro style universal controller :3 its good.

I kinda want a smartphone that is made of the same plastic that a gameboy was made of. Something like the iPhone 5C, but with a rougher texture.

I had that purple n64 controller with a special transparent edition also of Zelda the Ocarina of time. What a time to be alive it was!

Is this posted by the guy I accidentally had sex with in Cyberpunk 2077?

Minimalism sucks

Ahhh, I can taste the phtalate cancer from here.

Hey! I just bought a colorful transparent video game controller last night!

Yeah nah, let's leave that in the past
