• Show HN: Beats, a web-based drum machine

  Hello all! I've been an avid fan of Pocket Operators by Teenage Engineering since I found out about them. I even own an EP-133 K.O. II today, which I love. A couple of months ago, Reddit user andiam03 shared a Google Sheet with some drum patterns [1]. I thought it was a very cool way to share and understand beats. During the weekend I coded a basic version of this app I am sharing today. I iterated over it in my... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Do you have an aversion to recent TLDs?

  I don't see myself as that averse. To me, if they found a clever domain hack, or if the name is such that the TLD is part of it (like https://teenage.engineering) - sure, go for it. Happy to see it actually! Gives it character and shows that a modicum of thought was put into the choice. For the website of my gamedev team (called secret industries) I was happy to see .industries being a TLD. Quite long, but easy to... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Midlife Engineering

  For anyone baffled by the link, this is a send up of Teenage Engineering, a Swedish design house / manufacturer known for their very expensive synths and audio gear: https://teenage.engineering/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I designed a cube that balances itself on a corner

  I’m looking for more companies like these: https://www.evilmadscientist.com/ https://teenage.engineering/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• I feel there isn't enough physical modeling synthesizers out there so I made one.

  Lately I'm really inspired by the UI design of folks like Fors.fm and teenage.engineering, so everything is hand coded: waveform display, dials and sliders, and all the other UI elements. Source: over 2 years ago

• Opal Tadpole – A Webcam for Laptops

  Has a Teenage Engineering vibe imo, which is a fan-favorite here. https://teenage.engineering/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Why does the Playdate have such terrible battery management?

  Are you kidding? You probably have no idea about the hardware design firm that was involved, or about Panic's stellar reputation as a software engineering shop, huh? Source: almost 3 years ago

• The Diorama Engine

  I see it was designed in conjunction with Teenage Engineering which explains the look of it. They're famous in the music world for making quirky and interesting synths and music equipment: https://teenage.engineering/ Which explains the fairly steep price, Teenage Engineering is also famous for being quite expensive. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• How can make it more realistic?

  Lighting and materials. However I would counter sink those bolts and maybe swap them for torx or Allen heads and make them black and smaller (use the bolt add on). Then make the counter sunk hole as actual geometry on the model so you get some light catching on the edges. Also bevel or add a chamfer to your edges. And reference music gear so that you have a better understanding of form. Study these folks! Source: about 3 years ago

• Need help picking out equipment for my son.

  I’d recommend the PO series from Teenage Engineering. They provide a lot of different potable and multifunctional devices which are compatible with one another so you can use different devices with different functions and assets together (like having a portable band) In my area one must pay about 100€ for one, so even two of those would fit your budget.

• Does g-continuity make difference for small companies?

  Remember that good continuity has DFM benefits as well, makes it easier for parts to be injection moulded or die cast because it causes less wear on the dies. I'd argue that for consumer electronics, g-2 or g3 continuity is really a non-negotiable unless you're Teenage Engineering or Nothing, and I'd even suspect the corner fillets on their stuff would be pretty carefully constructed.

• Playdate Software Development Kit is now available for free to all

  It's a love letter to past times, with little extras. It's made in partnership with Teenage Engineering, which created all sorts of little (and bigger) devices like this, mostly for audio. https://teenage.engineering/. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Case with no riser and large air cooler?

  Hi there!I want to let you know that this is exactly what I have been looking for as well, having similar parts. As another post stated, the only one I was able to find was jonsplus (or jonsbo) BO 100. Its is much more expensive than I cared to spend, at least on eBay (I'm also not very superbuy or tabao inclined, but I have checked all over there!) Some cases have a similar style (abee w1, TE Computer-1 )... Source: over 4 years ago
