  • 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.

  • The chart only begins at 2 years old, so it excludes fawns by default.

  • This one appears well snuggled

  • Techmoan

    Not exactly a "commentator" as he isn't usually talking about the state of tech as a whole but specific products, and usually vintage ones.

    But you mentioned Fran so I think there's some overlap.

    If you want to listen to a retired Brirish chap go on about weird retro audio formats for half an hour, he's your man.

    He does occasionally review modern products, and if they are crap he will absolutely tell you so. He has a lot of integrity and it shows.

  • This.

    You shouldn't set off with snow or frozen chunks still left on your car. If you brake and it slides forward it can obscure your view, or when you get up to highway speeds it can fly off and damage whoever is behind you.

    Please be considerate of others and don't do it :)

  • This is the answer. Experience is subjective and what feels best to people is going to be heavily biased by where they were in their lives at the time.

    "What was the best era to be aged 10-14 and into video games?" is a subtly different question.

  • [the robot vacuum] retails for around $2,000 and is roughly the size of a large terrier or a small fridge

    Doing everyhing possible to avoid actual dimensions as always.

    What size is a 'small fridge' anyway??

  • I had personally no idea about that because I'm not using a mozilla login.

    What does it do wrong?

    The one setting I would suggest most people to change is to disable "clear history when librewolf closes" because 'history'includes all cookies and logins and clearing that is just too much.

  • Not according to that Wiki article, which was news to me too

  • I could almost live with ads if they were static, but the typical article-reading experience without afblock goes like this:

    See the first paragraph. Start reading. An autoplay video pops in at the top of the page obscuring the view. You scroll down but it's pinned to the top of the viewport. You close it with the miniscule x button. You finish the first paragraph and scroll down past a huge ad to the next paragraph. A banner ad appears at the bottom of the page. You dismiss it with the x. You start reading and two seconds later the banner you dismissed reappears with a new ad, obscuring the content again. You try to dismiss it, but miss and open the ad. Press back in the browser and start again from step 1.

    Its exhausting, and it's so painfully constrained, like trying to view a webpage by peeking at it through someone's letterbox.

    The Internet with ads, as it stands, is not worth seeing.

  • The one thing I trust Microsoft to do is anything they claim they won't

  • 'DINK'

  • If you didn't want people to pronounce the × then you shouldn't have put it in there, should'ya.

  • The "taking it seriously" American thing I noticed is to have a drawer full of compartments with tea in individual little packets by the bag.

    (and I'm sure you get told this a lot, but I love your username)

  • clicks the close button

  • Positively barbaric

  • Developing a taste for black coffee is where it's at.

    All the caffeine, none of the calories.
