    What is something society treats as normal that you secretly think is completely insane?

  • Gasoline.

    How many other toxic and highly volatile chemicals do we let 15 year olds squirt out of a hose with no supervision? Hell, we even have little TVs to distract them while they do it.

  • I think it's the first time it's happened since I upgraded my hardware over a year ago. 64 gigs of RAM and I rarely use more than 30% of it.

  • Reset button not working, but power button working is quite odd.

    Yeah makes me think something hardware level.

    Are the server and chargers close to each other? Can you reliably trigger it with the car charger?

    No. The car charges every night. This is the first time this has happened.

  • I used to work for a consultancy that tried to bill themselves as experts in VR/AR. This is back in 2017 or so. We helped a client make a 3D tracking system with VR/AR applications, and this client let us kind of run with it.

    Anyway, I was sort of head of this AR/VR thing, and we were always desperate for free advertising, so I somehow got pulled to provide my thoughts on the impact of VR/AR on the grocery store industry for an article in "The Grocer" or some other industry mag.

    Leading up to the call, I was trying to think of what I'd say. My thoughts were on building out virtual grocery stores to test customer reactions before building them for real. Bring in some test subjects, see how they plan their route, how they react to different placements of goods. Track their eye movements to see if the new end-cap design is working. Time how long they spend in the store, etc. Are the aisles too narrow and claustrophobic. I got the idea from another client who was using VR to test out new detergent bottle concepts (apparently a one-off of a blow-molded bleach bottle is crazy expensive).

    Well my consultancy had been purchased by a multinational conglomerate a year or so prior, so I got a phone call from some C-suite ass who wanted to brief me on what they wanted me to say to the magazine.

    His idea was a service where you could have a store employee wear some kind of camera rig so the customer could sit at home in VR and pilot the employee around the store. This would essentially replace curbside pickup, but with the added benefit of "allowing the customer to pick which apple they want out of the bunch."

    I resolved to ignore that advice, but the whole magazine thing ended up falling through anyway. I quit within the year.

  • But he soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his own device also provided access to live camera feeds, microphone audio, maps, and status data from nearly 7,000 other vacuums across 24 countries. The backend security bug

    I feel like "bug" is doing a looot of heavy lifting here.

  • A friend of mine studied penguins in Patagonia. When trying to wrangle one to study it, it suffered a heart attack and died. He was destroyed by what had happened.

    He kept its ankle band and wore it on a necklace. Despite being just a stamped bit of steel, they’re apparently highly regulated, so it’s rare to have one that’s not on a bird (not exactly sure if him having it was 100% above board).

    When he got married, he had it fashioned into his wedding band.
