[@MrMCDiggles]

The supercompacto is basically Hondas answer to an Apple electric scooter.

[@genera1013]

650 can get you a gorgeous piece of history, meaning a real typewriter from 1910 that still works beautifully and will likely outlast that fake typewriter thing. And for the record, you can get vintage typewriters for like $100-200 and again, still work.

[@Deja117]

Yep, doesn't even have hot swap switches, a decent screen, or a good lasting battery on it. I'd just DIY it for that price. You might be looking at 10 hours of time building it (so like a weekend), 100 bucks for getting a 3D printed case for it, and maybe need to learn the surface basics of using an Arduino (or other micro controller). But you'd still do it for less than 650 and it would all be custom to exactly what you want, including the screen, battery, wireless options, and all things in-between that. Plus, you'd be able to replace anything real easy down the line with the knowledge you gain.

As someone who speaks Dutch, the first part of the video was comedy gold! It's always so funny hearing English-speaking people trying to pronounce Dutch words or sentences. 😄

[@Jdbye]

A PS2 built into a TV is a great idea, I don't know why they didn't make more things like this. TVs with VHS and DVD players in were quite common, a PS2 makes a great DVD player, it just makes sense. Perfect for your cabin, or a bedroom. I know I would've loved to have one of those in my room as a kid. That being said,, this isn't tightly integrated. Kinda just looks like a TV standing on top of a DVD player, which is a thing you could've done. They should've made one based on the PS2 slim, and integrated it into the back of the unit, with just the controllers and memory cards plugging into the bottom.

[@dividion8102]

I put together one of those FP-GBC handhelds a couple weeks ago. It's great. Whoever made that e-Ink keyboard and thought it was worth $650 should be ashamed.

I imagine the Motocompacto will be suitable for those concert tours/film productions that needs to have people move around so much. You can easily store 100 of these in a small space in the truck as compared to like scooters or carts that takes up a lot of space

If reviewing commute devices like the motocompacto, I would like to see y'all force Austin to try out a Electric Unicycle (EUC). I am addicted to mine and think it is the best commuting formfactor. I got a Inmotion V11 and V13. The V13 goes 56mph at top speed, V11 goes 34mph, both have suspension.

[@elizabetharas5748]

Fun fact about the Motocompacto: It was inspired off one of Honda's other bikes, the Motocompo. Basically, it was a scooter you could get as an optional extra for the Honda City (a little hatchback sold in the 80s) and it was basically the same thing as the Motocompacto but gas powered and it could go a little faster. It was also slightly larger. I mean, the inspiration is pretty obvious, seeing as the names are basically almost the same.

[@NASTYcraftX]

Macho Nacho underrated

[@Brandonr757sGaming]

I picked up a Dasai Mochi very recently! Really like it; quality is good. The $50 standard price is arguably a little steep for a niche-ish, non-"functional" product, but it is a small company and clearly had some thought put into it. Discount codes help a bit, too.

I'm extremely surprised they didn't mention that the Moto Compacto is a "spiritual successor" of the Honda Motocompo, an awesome early 80's little motorcycle that was an option you could choose when buying the early 80's Honda City, which is also a very cool little kei car.

[@MouseSPAL]

It's kind of crazy that these smart typewriters are coming into vogue. My cousin said that when she was in school years ago they had similar digital type writers to use for essay exams. It would be cool if Austin could find some of these and see how they compare to these modern smart typewriters. Hopefully they also don't cost 100's of dollars.

[@KenSch2020]

If I am not too badly mistaken that a typing keyboard was called a word processor. Because with a typewriter it printed directly to the paper with the ink ribbon. The word processors either came with the printer already attached or could connect to a computer to print. Now of days they probably have wireless printing with those. The biggest advantage with the word processor you could proof read what you typed and even spell check with the typewriter if stuff didn't sound right or miss spelled you either had to re-type or use a lot of whiteout.

The Mochi is a cool concept and would be cool to have for your car if it was like $15. I saw the ads for this months ago and wanted it and as it sits its $50 and if you want an additional helmet color its like another $10 per color. They couldv'e had these probably everywhere but being $60 after shipping is ridiculous for something that does basically nothing.

In Joanna's defence... You HAVE said worse Austin, and you know it. But it's not been anything too bad. 😇 BTW, I've been looking into mechanical keyboards an alarming amount lately (I need a new one). 300-400 can get you a similar keyboard to the Freewrite, with hot swappable switches, and it will be wireless with maybe 20 ms lag, and you could add additional parts to the board like a macro section, a little screen for any info over USB/Bluetooth, heavier base plate, as well as custom engraving. Then for 100 bucks more, you can get a custom enclosure and switches, as well as an Arduino to manage it all. Way more flexible than whatever that was.
