Shoutout to the marketing ‘expert’ who mailed a large, battery-powered, LCD-equipped video greeting card to our CEO to demonstrate their innovative approach to ignoring the #ewaste crisis. Bold strategy.

We’ll be sure to reach out if we need help shipping steaks and leather handbags to PETA.

@iFixit I think peta is an animal organization, I don't think they will take that idem. also it seams really cool. imagine having a greeting card in the form of a computer. most likely they wanted to send you a literally email, what that email being physical. that'd actually call for a good experiment in my own home, to see if I can get a physical battery powered greeting card that will automatically display something like this when opened. love the guys creativity

@adisonverlice @iFixit "email being physical" ...that's just called "mail"?

You really don't need to send a screen with a battery, to forward a message to someone. And, I wouldn't call something that's somehow more useless than those toy laptops for children "creative" either. It might be fancy, but it's completely impractical

@grunge_fox o trust me, I do a lot of unconventional things myself. and also, i'm not saying it should be done, it's just cool to have it happen. I don't send my mail in electronic computer throwaways, but still i'm gonna experiment with those in my home to see if I can get a similar result.
i'll probably just throw it away myself rather than sending it off though. maybe show it to a few friends at best. also I call it creative because, well, that is something you don't see everyday.
