Do you know any other examples like this?

Roll-your-own cigarette rolling paper boxes contain a coloured paper when there are only 10 left (of typically 50 or 100). Another example: Patent US5365874 - End of dental floss tape indicator - Google Patents[^].

Like a hard drive that gives the "imminent failure" warning. :-D

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yes, but I can't tell you in every detail what the owner of my local bar mixes into the beer to remind me that I should have another one. And now you have reminded me to go and buy a fresh two pound roll of filament for the 3D printer after work.

My car has a flat tyre warning. I saw it one day and drove in to work wondering what the hell that light meant. When I got in to work I read the manual, then I looked at the tyre and realised the significance of the light. These sorts of things are only useful if you know what they mean. No I am not going to read the whole of my car manual - I simply don't have the time.

Wait. 4D printer is coming out. ;P

[Jochen Arndt]

I don't think so. You would only smoke less when finally running out of papers without being informed before.

People say reading has a lot of benefits. Have not tried it.

I already have one, if you take into account how long it needs to finish an object. More of a relative spacetime printer.

Changes colour to tell you it needs emptying. :)

I mean, I am not saying it goes peach after a week or two, but it definitely changes colour! :)

papers for cigarette rollers :) i think the 10th or 5th last is blue or so. (Maybe depending on brand)

Cash register receipt rolls have a red stripe on then when they are nearing the end

That feature would be better if the tire sensors were not first sensors to fail (and costs $180+ to replace).

One thing the mechanic told me when he was replacing the wheel was "Don't use the quick tyre inflation fix tool!" as it will fill the tyre with gunk and require the tyre sensor to be replaced. So not only do I not get a spare tyre but if I use the kit that is meant to reinflate the tyre I also have to fork out a large quantity in dosh to replace the sensor too - that's a definite fail on the p[art of the manufacturer.

And spreading disease ... with a disposable tissue, you throw away the bug ridden paper instead of carrying it around with you to infect others with. But me? I use "proper" cotton hankies myself ... :laugh:
