many book scanners use a wedge shape and two angled cameras to scan the pages when the book is held open at about a 5 degree angle

I've seen this kind of post a few times. If I survived a near-death experience, you bet I'd be glued to my phone telling everyone I was ok as soon as I could.

A birdwatching friend of mine has decided that if he ever discovers a new species, he's naming it "seagull" regardless of where he finds it or what it looks like just to piss off all the ornithologists.

Very well executed, though not sure how I feel about the glass plate squishing the pages down like that.

Zoomers are prime draft age for WWIII and it's a popular haircut among them.

I saw this clip on eBaumsworld when I was like 12 and was overjoyed that we had finally done it and all the climate change stuff I learned about wasn't going to be a problem.

CS 1.6 is how I learned about port forwarding

Photoshop or AI. The truck sucks on its own merits. Don't need to make up lies.

Though you can see why someone would try to make this joke given what the bins actually look like:

McDonald's specifically is famously a real estate company that happens to serve burgers on the side. The corporation owns all of the land that its franchises are sitting on, so they can park a restaurant on it and sell it for a profit after the land appreciates in value.

In addition to moving away from marketing directly to children, the reason a lot of fast foot restaurants are rebranding to look like grey cubes is to make the buildings more generic and therefore more valuable as commercial real estate.

We've all seen the local Mexican restaurant that definitely used to be a Pizza Hut. This is to avoid that.

Ya gotta give me time to answer.

You are correct. I was assuming they'd be more like 10-keys. Google images shows they're usually in the phone orientation.

except phone keypads and computer keypads are inverted.

My girlfriend sent me the first frame once when she was feeling down about work. I responded with:

Anyway, she's my wife now.

From the Michael Scott school of legally binding declarations.

MJ Should be way more bloodshot/glossy

The issue is not going up, it's going over. If we only cared about the private sector getting people into space, that happened on a fully reusable vehicle twenty years ago.

The problem is getting things to stay in space. Not trying to Elon-stan here, but getting a rocket into orbit is many fold more difficult than just getting into space.

My point is that I think people are giving this project way to much credit. If they were basing it off a phone, it would be trivial to apply some textures to an existing photo or something. Hell, the specs say it has a "5000mAh long life camera" whatever the hell that means. None of it is real.

The fact that it resembles any real phone is sheer coincidence. Especially considering they don't list a processor, just numbers that anybody can make up.

the T1 closely resembles the T-Mobile REVVL 7 Pro 5G

No it fucking doesn't. Will people please stop spreading this.

The phone is just a shit photoshop job. All three cameras depicted are identical down to the pixel. Here's one camera overlaid on another with a difference filter:

The lighting in the "render" doesn't even make sense.

The shadows imply that the camera "bump" is actually recessed since the shadows are along the top edge. Also where are the side buttons on the reverse?
