dbrand got SERVED! - darkplates 2.0

Thanks to dbrand for sponsoring today's video! Check out darkplates 2.0 at darkplates.com
dbrand's darkplates 2.0 is a bit of a controversial product. For backstory, a different company was going to make decorative side plates, and a C&D was issued, so none were made. dbrand made their own, and well... there's a reason why there's a 2.0 version.
Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

[@mgibilterra]

the rippling you saw at 6:50 looks more like jetting. Jetting is when the flow path is too thin which results in high orientation of the polymer chains during injection. This is typically seen around gate locations if the gate choice is soo small. The ripples are created from how the polymer chains shrink when cooling which results in a rippled surface. Since this doesn't look to be the gate location (Hard to see) D brand should be able to fix this by using a flow leader. ~source: I'm a Plastics Engineer

Honestly, I prefer the default plates (skinned mine in black from a different company), but I'd like for a company like Nyko to produce plates that give the PS5 a "rectangular" look, using the extra panel space to squeeze in filters and more airflow vents. Basically, something that makes it look almost like the PS4 or the PS2, with only the curved element of the middle panel breaking up the design.

[@flutterguy965]

Maybe the next Dbrand product could have binary code for a 10% coupon for their store, the whole concept has so much potential!

The problem here would be that they can't give every plate a unique code, and the code would leak out pretty fast. just 10%, but still.

@@qlum That's not true actually. They could probably come up witch a scheme where they print a full code, then remove (melt away) a few certain characters from that code on each plate to produce unique combinations that are difficult to guess without having the specific plate. Definitely could be done without too too much work.

[@eideticex]

Why not, the burger I bought the other day when my brother and I went out to dinner together had a QR code for a discount on my next burger from that place. I thought it'd be more interesting if they seared the code into the bun but the wrapper was a nice touch.

It's even shittier than that. If you don't defend your copyright and patent against everyone without license agreements, then you lose the right to selectively enforce them on anyone.
