Shawn Blanc on his new Hidden Radio:
The device is little more than a giant volume knob with a speaker inside, and yet, ironically, it’s the most difficult-to-use volume knob in my home.
Great review of a kickstarter project he backed last year. Reading the review, I felt bad for Shawn because he didn’t seem to have any unreasonable expectations for the device, but yet it still failed.
His complaint about the friction issue makes me think they (or he) could trivially fix it with some adhesive rubber/silicone on the bottom.
Not so much the “turning off all the time” part.
