    My rule of thumb: Better delayed than unfinished or unusable.

    If you expected Analogue to have a reasonable amount of product (ready for release or otherwise), you have not been paying attention.

    I mean, I don’t care that much. It’s a niche product for a niche audience. This is hardly anything to get worked up about

      If it’s anything like Analogue Pocket then the contact points will need to be in pristine condition. Blowing on them might not do the trick but isopropyl swab should.

        I like to take one step further and use a white pencil eraser followed by IPA. Helps get more of the dirt and oxidation off.

              If I had to put it in words, I’d say that it’s an example of absurdist humor by taking the common act of “one-up’ing” to an unexpected extreme degree.

              ex.: “I prefer mowers from x brand, because they give a more consistent cut height.” / “Yeah, those mowers are great and all, but I started using a ruler and scissors to cut my lawn, it really took it to the next level”
