It is the promise of mystery, discovery, unknown functions that could end up being truly fascinating. The less clear the workings of a device at first glance (down to some minimum threshold), the more it evokes that sense of wonder and curiosity.
I’m reminded of a few projects I’ve seen here and there where a dad with some electronics skills builds a control panel for his kid with a bunch of knobs, buttons, lights, switches, gauges, displays etc. that makes suitably impressive industrial noises as you mess with the controls because what kid doesn’t want that? I want that.
The brand is Dango. My mom gave it to me for gift a few years back. I don’t know the model. I checked their website but it doesn’t have my color config anymore.
It’s a bifold leather brown with silver metal. The one they have now is brown and gray metal.
Why would a hailcorporate be reluctant to name the product? It feels a little Catch 22, because if they’d instantly named it that could also be interpreted as hailcorporate.
Bait and switch. Bait you with what you saw, but hey, “look at this product over here!” The thread is almost a direct copy of how AI slop would pull you in. Show you “You’ll never believe this cool thing!” you click on it because it is cool looking, but it redirects you to a site selling similar items but not the cool AI fake thing.
You don’t want an AI generated non-descript thing?
Actually, it might not even be AI generated. Just a non-descript thing.
I have seen AI gadgets in clickbait ads.
Cool-looking cubes with lots of controls and stuff, but with meaningless symbols and “words” for labels.
It reminds me how influenced I am by advertising, that I kind of want something that doesn’t exist or have a purpose, just because it looks gadgety.

True. Part of me still wants a Nokia N90 just because it hinted at so much functionality when I first saw it.

It’s not AI generated. I’ve had this wallet for like 3 years now.
So… what is it? Lol
I literally said “I have had this wallet for 3 years”. It’s a wallet. You keep credit cards and cash in it.
But why male models?
Asking the tough, hard-hitting questions
Please name it and provide some information so we can check it out.

🤷♂️
Looks like it’s from Dango, based on the design elements: Dango Products
Dude doesn’t want anyone to see his wallet. Or this is a /hailcorporate.

But the comment isn’t pointing you anywhere else. And the commenter didn’t make the thread. And the wallet is actually real.
I put the OP image in a reverse image search and found the product and brand in about ten seconds.
But what is it!?
I like it actually.
Yea it’s been fine. Sometimes putting cash in the clip Is PIA but otherwise it’s fine. I like the heft it has with the metal parts. 🤷♂️
show us a picture then. or reply when people ask you what it is with a name and brand.
of course people think you’re full of shit when you don’t reply to them with anything but vague bullshit
It’s a wallet you dumb bitch.
Yeah great work you stumpy fingered vague dickface, you finally did it.
hell yeah, I love lemmy
'tis a lovely place
The one in the screenshot has a digital interface, which it made it look like a phone cover but it’s way too small to be a phone cover.
I honestly think the image is AI generated and it’s just based on a wallet.
You went from like 0 to 100 on the antagonistic tone over someone saying they owned a wallet.
0-100?
pfft, fucking amateur. I’m easily at level 7000, on the metric antagonalytical scale.
Which is like 13,231.9 imperial.
Looks very similar to Dango, they have a bunch of similar metal framed, leather bound wallets.

TY! finally someone with a link
Are you buying it for yourself or as a gift?
neither, just wondered if it was real.
it’s a silly ass design for a wallet imho
