It was a fair review and the product looks very compelling. We definitely need to pay attention and update our priors.
- LargoLasskhyfv 2y agoAs a native german speaker I find the brandname hilarious :) Because that 'Peng', like 'Päng' translates as 'Bang!', so something coming apart with a loud bang, or shall we say: 'rapid unscheduled disassembly' ? The X could be interpreted as X-tra, so super likely, as a bonus :)
- wenc 2y agoPeng is onomatoeia for “bang” yes. But usually a gunshot or explosive bang which could be either positive or negative (could be a huge technological “bang”). “Rapid unscheduled disassembly” might be your personal reading of it, but that is not my reading.
