Oreo McFlurries kind of suck now. McDonald's ice cream used to taste vanilla like, now it tastes like Wendy's frosties. That is to say, it is less flavourful than if I just left a cup of milk in my car during the winter. How nearly all reviewer sites are just paid fake content. How so many kids want freelance marketing hype-man to be their career, but calling it 'influencer'. Reddit killing Joey (third party apps) There's no fireflies where I live anymore. There's no deer where I live anymore (though this may be a blessing considering wasting disease is spreading to basically everywhere )

The deer here have been coming into town way more frequently. It's pretty unnerving to round the corner of a building and be face to face with a doe. I haven't heard of any injuries from them yet, but it's only a matter of time until some weird Giygas poo poo happens.

I don't think you'd want to eat a deer that has wasting disease, hell I don't know if you'd want to eat any deer right now. You don't gently caress with prions.

I had to make a new Microsoft account for someone today. It made me do a Captcha thing with 20 steps. Click the arrows until the right object is in the right "orbit" (around like a sun or something), press ok, move on to next one. Progress bar moves closer towards 20 - so it's not like a flexible one where you get more if you get one wrong. I didn't want to see what happened if you got one wrong. Is

I once struggled with a Captcha for a very long time and a goon suggested it was not because I was solving the riddles or whatever incorrectly, but because I was doing so like a robot. So now when I get a Captcha I make sure to move my mouse around all over the screen in weird motions that hopefully look human, and then click on the wrong pictures a bunch of times because that's what a human might do

Captchas create jobs for captcha solvers. That's the point right? So that account sellers buy captcha solves, so that they can sell their accounts to botters or use the accounts to bot themselves.

That reverse scammer guy on YouTube made a website to counter scam scammers that makes them solve captchas then tells them they didn’t select all the motocycles or whatever and makes them do them over. To switch it up he makes ones that tell them to draw a boat then tells them it didn’t register as boat shaped.

Web pages that don't show which category the product you clicked on belongs to, like if you found it from a search. This is an annoying trend I see more of lately. Makes it harder to compare products.

They started out heavily reclined like that. It might've been to give better clearance to the viewscreen. Or maybe it was meant to be more ergonomic using those controls. Anyway they changed it after the first few seasons for something more normal. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Mar 31, 2024 |

Gas pumps here started playing ads in Canada. I pressed every button but none of them muted it. Will likely try pushing different combinations of these buttons next time I go. Or hold it down. Or just ask the person at the store whenever I pay.

A lot of the time the captcha has already decided you're human, they're just using you as free labour to train a vision AI. There'll be squares it's sure about, and those validate that you're actually trying to be accurate, and then some that are edge cases, and you confirm it one way or the other for the AI to learn.

Houle posted:Before this wasn't it to help digitize old books? Back in the day, yep. The method above is how they did that too; they'd give you one word they knew and one word they didn't. If you got the known word wrong (or gave an answer that didn't line up with what other people were giving for the second word) they'd give you a captcha where they knew both words. If you wanted to gamble and were reasonably sure of which word was the known one, you could give a gibberish/wrong answer for the second one and get a pass. Easier because it was usually a less common/more complex word (or otherwise wouldn't OCR well)

Why are there no clocks on TVs anymore. The streaming services don't show the time. Native TV OSes don't show it. You have to mount a clock on the wall next to the TV, which seems like a step backwards to me.

My TCL Roku TV has a clock on the main screen and I can pick several clock themes for the screen saver, but I can't ever recall having a TV with a permanent clock display built in. Maybe a really fancy old 50s-60s wooden cabinet model?
