Kindle Voyage Book Cover

thingiverse

"Captain, she's gazing upon us on the port side!" "Shields up!" "We have a problem sir, this kindle voyage is equipped with adaptive lighting, which is excellent for the user, but lacks the ability to definitively shield the lighting from other users who don't care to read the latest bit of fan fiction about star trek at 11:30 at night in bed!" "Dammit man, where was engineering when that decision was made" "I don't know sir, but page 278 certainly implies the engineer might have been busy designing an egg dispenser for his fridge. He lists it on his thingiverse page...." "That sounds legendary. Everyone should have one." "I know sir.. it sounds like a good use of his time and engineering degree!" "I'm not paying you to make excuses, ensign. I'm paying you for solutions." "Well we've got this guy on the internet that decided to design a port side shield to stop all light from reaching nearby passersby, including one's spouse." "Good, get engineering to start printing one. Use some of that bailing wire to insert at the hinges." "Why bailing wire, sir?" "Look, I bought a bundle of it at the store at a deep discount and it's cluttering up the garage." "I don't know if everyone had that sir. Oh gosh, she's telling us to stop reading and get to bed!" "NOT ON MY WATCH! Well then, tell them to use a piece of filament" "Got it sir. 1.75mm filament it is. Ok, they're telling me it'll be about 7 hours to put this together." "Ensign, angle the light display 60 degrees off normal. shield her from the rays." "Won't that make this incredible hard to read?" "Of course it will, but this bit of fan fiction isn't going to have Spock fight Zelda across time on its own."
