That's would be great to see in some space-comedy show.
Just a janitor wandering around cleaning up with a vacuum hose, zoom out the view to see it trailing onto a duct-taped port clumsily punched in an exterior window

I always wonder how they kept the carpets so clean, you never saw anyone with a vacuum cleaner.

There's a line about the ship cleaning itself at one point.

There's a bit in Discovery where someone has the cliche angry public breakdown and knocks over a bunch of tables and then later on when they've calmed down and are talking it out we see a bunch of lil drones popping out and picking up the tables and chairs and neatly putting them all back in place.

i would argue this is because we have a world where designers legit designed towards this idealized future because they liked the look of it. like how tablet technology was inspired by the touchscreen poo poo in TNG.

Amazon has suddenly decided to endlessly advertise twitch titty streams to me?? Like I'm some 18 year old straight kid instead of a middle aged married gay man? I've started clicking "not interested" to at least thirty of these loving things and every day somehow there is another girl in a bikini doing a "stretching stream." It also somehow thinks I have a dog and speaks Spanish! What on Earth.

I thought these mega corporations were supposed to know everything about us.

This is how I find out my neighbors are stealing my WiFi isn't it?

most social and messaging apps on your phone request permission to the camera, not that theyd necessarily need it to figure out what your are interested in looking at. in theory the phone will show you when the camera is in use but i find it highly dubious to claim there arent ways around disabling the indicator somehow or using the other face-id related sensors instead of the main cameras etc

I'm fairly sure this is why the entire internet is convinced I will buy harry potter things. i went for a piss while a harry potter advert was on screen on facebook maybe 10 years ago and a good 30-40% of ads I see when I'm not in incognito mode are harry potter related. I've never read any of the books, seen any of the films or played any of the videogames and I have no intention of changing any of these things

usually the activity light on a webcam, like the write-protect switch on SDCards, is just a software control not as tightly coupled to the hardware as one would like. I have seen laptop webcam shutters coupled to a switch that disconnects the camera, which is cool.

I only joke as a way to mask my constant pain and horror at the world. I may laugh when I say it's dangerous, but I do believe that it is genuinely dangerous - it is no different than giving a cocaine button to a lab rat, the scientifically designed way that video hits all the buttons in a developing brain will make an infant ignore actual real world development and interpersonal bonding because it won't provide anywhere near the same return on dopamine hit per effort given
