   @captainepoch @icedquinn HID shit is always crazy expensive. Bodies are unique, and everyone's looking for the optimal fit. Just look at the sex toy industry.

     @Vo @captainepoch well you're comparing something probably produced by Chinese near-slave labor in bulk, value engineered to optimal planned obsolescence, to something that was printed and assembled in Canada using all top-of-the-market mechanics and sensors.
     
     i was fuming to find out that Azeron put the cheapest omrons in, marketed it as "high end omron switches," and then it turned out they lied and were using 100k switches not the 1m rated switches, explaining why the people who use azerons more than a week kept having switch failure.

     @icedquinn @captainepoch they incorrectly identify their market as "disposable income" and not as "detail-focused productivity-maxxing snobs"

     @Vo @captainepoch i'm not here to be the sales department but i've had injection molded products that had an MTBF of 8-12 months of hard use and i've had 3d printed plastic that is two years in to heavy daily use and has only required one or two spots of cleaning out some bearings.
