  • I love how which devices get countertop space is a real reflection on culture around the world.

    Here in the UK you can always find an electric kettle, without question. In Italy a Moka pot. In Japan a rice cooker.

    It says a lot about what's important to people.

    It's only really in the US that you see such a proliferation of hyper-specific gadgets. Smoothie maker, waffle maker, electric egg poacher, vegetable spiralizer...

    I don't know if that says anything about American culture, or just that you guys have really big kitchens.

  • Or how flashlights make a little circle of light in otherwise near-total darkness, as opposed to real flashlights which light up a pretty wide area.

  • India's top court angry after judge cites fake AI-generated orders

    Jump

  • The defendants challenged the order in the state's high court, pointing out that the cited orders were fake. The high court acknowledged this, but accepted that the junior civil judge had made the error in "good faith" and went on to agree with the trial court's decision anyway.

    This is a recurring and troublesome pattern in AI use. Institutions and individuals trying to dodge responsibility like "It turned out to be wrong but I can't be held responsible that it was wrong."

    You don't get to blame the AI for this. You're the human, and the buck stops with you.

    We need to set strong precedents that people are always the ones responsible for outcomes, not AI. If we fail to do this, there will be no accountability for anything.

  • If they actually think Halloween "isn't real" that's pretty nuts. It exists regardless of whether they want it to or not.

    That said, a lot of holidays have become pretty corporate to the extent I can understand people wanting to opt out and not celebrate them, or do things in their own way.

    Big difference between that and thinking it's "not real" though.

  • I'm glad to see people going public with these sorts of shenanigans.

    The thing about maker communities is that makers generally appreciate the importance and ethics of "not stealing other people's shit," and putting companies on blast for it does in this community hurt their bottom line.

    And when it hurts their bottom line, that drives action.

    Elegoo wouldn't release their firmware for the Centauri Carbon claiming it was proprietary, until someone proved it was just modified Klipper, and therefore in breach of Klipper's license. And the community backlash was strong enough that Elegoo were compelled to release it.

    So yeah, do the good work and keep making these companies accountable.

  • It will certainly bang

  • A drill technically becomes a screwdriver when you insert a screw bit into it

    Jump

  • If the attachment is what makes it a screwdriver, then the attachment is also what makes it a drill.

    An electric kitchen mixer is not a drill. At least, it wasn't designed to be one. But I could weld a drill bit on there and turn it into something which can maybe drill - if terribly.

    Similarly, the 'device' part of what we call an electric drill can't drill anything, not until you put the drill bit in. It's not a drill in its base form - just a handheld spinny thing waiting for a purpose.

    But I could add a whisk and turn it into a kitchen mixer....

    We generally call the body part of a drill 'a drill' because that's what it was designed to be. It's got speed settings and torque control and hammer function and all the things that were engineered to make it good at drilling. But it's not a drill without the bit - both practically and philosophically - and what community is more philosophical than showerthoughts.

  • For sure yeah.

    I still end up having to use ffmpeg directly (in combination with other CLI tools) because there's always something the GUIs haven't caught up with yet. Most recently for me it was converting animated webp's into something I could actually work with

  • me btw

    Jump

  • I find it wild there are countless "convert videos online for free!" sites on the Internet full of bonus malware which are all just thin wrappers around ffmpeg. And yet they persist because people want googleable answers to their problem which don't need a command line or downloading anything.

    Personally I've got a Python script which provides a slightly friendlier wrapper around ffmpeg for my common use-cases.

    But honestly ffmpeg is such a beast, so much of what we use daily depends on it under the hood.

  • I think the comic is creating a false dichotomy (as comics often do) because in reality people will often be a little bit of both.

    I've got assorted mugs and glasses acquired over decades, and my favourites are among them.

    I've also got some matching wine glasses and matching tea cups, because sometimes it's just nice when everyone is equal and gets the same.

  • this guy has one spare arm

    Jump

  • I miss the world of three years ago where this image would silently tell a mildly amusing story of corporate error, rather than being dismissed as AI slop.

    And you could imagine the chain of events. Marketing manager is like "Hey, I like it but can we get his arm around her?" and the artist goes off and does the change but forgets the other hand. Marketing manager loves it, nobody notices, poster gets printed, poster gets put up, and still nobody spots a thing until the public do.

    Of course, it's still corporate error even if it's AI. Someone should have spotted it and didn't. Heck, there's a chance even in 2026 this was good-old-fashioned human error all the way down, with no AI involved at all. But it doesn't hit the same as it used to because AI has ruined our default assumptions.
