  • I always love using that example to dismiss some concerns about deepfakes sparking national conspiracies.

    Nobody even tried to fake a picture of it. I've seen photos on lemmy of people shaving their heads in weird ways or making some horrible bean-themed food just for the karma. Throwing an empty litter box in an empty classroom takes much less effort yet nobody even bothered.

  • Humans have the same issue, we just don't have that same instinct for whatever reason.

    Location is determined by the time-of-flight difference in the sound wave between each ear. So if something hits your left ear first, you know that it's coming from the left.

    You can't do that when things are above/below.

  • There's a sub on Reddit called "mirrorsforsale" that's all pictures like this.

    My favorite was someone who posted a picture of their bathroom scale to show off how much weight they lost,but they didn't realize the scale was so reflective and they were hanging dong.

  • Heh forgot about the App Store.

    Maybe a bad example, but there is certainly a trend recently of purpose built hardware with “free” services failing to justify the expenses of the necessary backend infrastructure getting turned into useless landfill.

    Car Thing, Facebook Portal, and this dumb little treat dispensing dog webcam that I used to have come to mind.

    Everyone hates subscriptions, but when it comes to hardware that needs to generate revenue to function, I think a token dollar or so a month is appropriate.

    Edit: also thinking about it more, core OS software features that are arbitrarily linked to new hardware (like Apple Intelligence) are definitely designed to sell more phones over just selling more software on existing phones. I think it’s fair to say that there’s a revenue link there.
