[–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago (2 children) This appears to be an advert dissed as an article. Also, I know my bike lights already emit light in all directions by making the shell transparent. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al [S] 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Okay, I'll bite. What makes it appear as an advert disguised as an article? Pray do tell. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) Most of the website area is dedicated to photos of a finished product, like you would expect from an ecommerce site. Most of the text just sells the product, instead of explaining reasoning like how this is safer. The camera on the light has nothing to do with visibility. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al [S] -7 points 2 years ago Wait, long running design blog offers visual orientated content and is subsequently suspicious. It's talking about a product that's still a Kickstarter project, what do you want? I don't even know what to say about your third point, it's just ridiculous. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fixerdude2@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) The camera is a bonus IMHO. So many close calls of drivers texting, on the phone, not paying attention or just having the blank stare that I would like to save and share. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) I agree with you about the utility of the camera, it's just not what I wanted to hear about when the article title suggests the article is about designing bike light for visibility. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fixerdude2@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago True that. permalink fedilink source parent
