imgur itself fucks everything up because when you upload an image now it does some javascript poo poo for the first few seconds.

my method is snipping tool -> ctrl-C -> imgur.com -> ctrl-V -> right-click the image as soon as it appears -> copy image URL-> paste into post. if you do that too quickly, you get that blob:fartpoop69420 instead of the real URL.

oh and i accidentally posted it because i just instantly bang out TAB SPACE as soon as i'm done typing

:( i remember this looking like the coolest poo poo ever, the early 2000s didn't really age well. also gently caress if you aren't absolutely right. the only phones i remember from the matrix are payphones (which are probably available to buy online for cheaper than the above, come to think of it)

man how do people even gently caress up pasting imgur links that badly

at least in the mobile app copying the image url adds a space that you have to remember to delete before hitting post

LG has launched a new smartphone, the LG K7i, that the company says will repel mosquitoes using ultrasonic waves. The company claims the device addresses a real concern in the phone's target market—India—but many scientists say the underlying tech does not, in fact, repel mosquitoes.

:bigtran:

it's not really that the IR can see through the fabrics to any greater extent than visible light -- it's only like 950nm after all. the effect happens because a lot of fabric dyes only respond in the visible range, and are transparent to IR. so if you have a tight clingy black shirt, in IR it may appear to be a tight clingy white shirt, and you can see through it about as well as that implies.

so if grandma has a blouse made of thin, sheer material but with a loud floral print or w/e that makes it modest, and the pattern doesn't work in IR, well....

It was a plain, white blouse. No pattern.

the history of the bug report is really good:
  • september 10, 2010, ticket open
  • april 19, 2011, slashdot article
  • april 20, 2011, first google comment from employee #1, says they'll fix an issue in broadcom firmware and a suspend issue, which should resolve the problem
  • august 10, 2012, google employee #1 expresses disbelief that the issue is still happening in ics (ice cream sandwich) and asks for more information
  • november 26, 2012, google employee #2 shows up, assigns google employee #1 to the ticket
  • may 21, 2013, google employee #1 unassigns himself from the ticket
  • april 11, 2014, last comment from the public, someone says it's still happening in 4.4.2
  • march 27, 2015, ticket hasn't seen activity in almost a year, google employee #3 locks down the ticket
