A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Seems fair, you pay 1000 for the logo and 600 for the hardware.

It's a very nice logo. And it lights up. Hard to argue with their pricing, really.

[–] ebc@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It actually doesn't light up anymore...

For $375 you can get an iFlashlight to point at the logo

Ordered the iFleshlight. Looking forward to seeing the jealous looks I get at the coffee shop.

It's actually just the display backlight which is why I had to cover it with aluminium tape instead of just disconnecting the wire. Not only don't I want an ad on my computer I especially don't want an illuminated one.
