  People that do shite themselves are the worst.

  Someone: makes something completely and utterly useless.

  Internet people: voice justified criticism.

  Half wits: “how dare you criticise the creators!”

    Why does the end product of an electronics learning project need to be useful? Or any hobby project? Your criticism was that their hobbies should yield something useful, but where’s the “justification” for that? What’s wrong with just having fun?

    Quarter wits: “How dare you have fun”

      Why does the end product of an electronics learning project need to be useful? Or any hobby project?

      So we agree it is useless? OK.

        Kind of, it’s a pretty shit phone, and the creator is not pretending otherwise. Why are you so offended and why should they do whatever you want them to do instead?

    Dude. It’s a hobby project. It doesn’t need to solve major global market problems for you. What an absolutely bizarre thing to get this angry over.

        Pal, my dude, my buddy, you’re raging against someone’s garage proof-of-concept as if they held the key to the software problems on modern smartphones, and downvoting anyone who tells you to chill out. Lots of people do much more useless things than this every day, so why does this one thing enrage you so much?

    I’m sure many people call you useless, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t exist

      many people call you useless,

      You must be thinking about your parents and yourself.
