Yeah I see people bitching about their TV showing ads on menus and I'm wondering why the hell anyone would hook a smart TV to the internet in the first place.

[–] TheOakTree@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 hours ago

Well I do know some of them won't work until you set them up with an account, i.e. the cheaper Roku TVs. That being said, I'd disconnect it right after.

the answer is consumerism

Ironically:

Internet of Thing = secure Internet of Things = insecure.

Therefore, the 's' in IoT stands for insecurity.

This is the most Aperture-ass warning sign ever, and I need it in my life immediately.

Oh man I need that bottom one for my bottle of Rapid Remover

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

I had some of those on as wallpapers for years.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What is this? Surely not legitimate old timey warning labels. What are these from?

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

from the game Portal 2 judging by the crosshair and Aperture markings on the picture. Likely from the cabe johnson era facility levels.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Hmmm, I only played the first one. I guess I forgot that aperture was company in the game's name. It's been a while.

Do catch up on Portal 2 when you can - even just the JK Simmons voice acting makes it worth it IMO.

I loved that guy - and Rick Sanchez abusing them.

I need a sticker of those!

IOT = Internet of Things, i.e. appliances and stuff that connect to the internet. These often have very poor security, so the joke is that there's no S in IOT.

Nobody reads signs just remove the chip.

Where I work genuinely has hundreds of devices that must be networked but should never be on the internet.

Industrial manufacturing?

The pictogram on this one makes more sense IMO

Perfection! Thanks!
