Deskthority drawn by AI

This is one of Apple's failures - introducing a red squirrel into an already saturated squirrel market.

“And we’re calling it: iNut.”
Audience coughs with nervous laughter.



“What?” Steve glowers.

The AI really captures the essence of Fauci. I'm particularly fond of the last image. He's ripping out his eye socket - and yet he's smiling.

Of course, this one is not without its charms:

It was only after the war that the Allies found out just how much more advanced German computer terminals really were.

I also like the fact that Hitler seems to have 3 arms - something those damn historians deliberately hide from us.

Indeed.

Is there something you need to get off your chest, A500, besides that domineering squirrel? For all their nippy faults, I’m unconvinced our arboreal rodent overlords would deign to submit themselves to global conspiracies… of human design, at least.

[invalid mr_a500]

You mean... you don't want to see Hitler's computer terminal? You don't want to see Fauci ripping out his own eye socket? Dear dear. What is this world coming to.

I think kbdfr must be a real Fauci fan - probably had a Farrah Fawcett style poster of him on his wall as a kid.

[Bjerrk]

Nurse, he's up again.

[…] I think kbdfr must be a real Fauci fan - probably had a Farrah Fawcett style poster of him on his wall as a kid.

I simply find tendentious name-dropping of persons who have aboslutely nothing to do with keyboards extraordinalrily stupid - and commenting idiotic posts is notoriously one of my favourite pastimes.

Impressive! Thought it was a staged photo until I zoomed into the key mess. Reality is so ducked now!

I read that as "making idiotic posts is notoriously one of my favourite pastimes". I agreed completely. Your posts are notoriously idiotic.

In the past decade, I don't think I've seen a post by "kbdfr" that I thought was interesting or intelligent. It's not personal, just the truth.

That's "name-dropping of persons who have aboslutely nothing to do with keyboards extraordinalrily stupid"!!!! Stop it!

Get back to keyboard related stuff, damn it!

I’m not overweight, btw, cheeky.

Anyway, we made kbdfr a moderator because he is so often the voice of reason here on Deskthority. Squabble with him if you wish, but do so while aware that we are most all on his side.

I had an alternate, but it wasn't as funny. (and what's with the feet merging with keyboard shot?)

It seems to be "Scots standing on keyboard".

He's a moderator?? Great. "The enemy within". I bet he's checking my IP now and sending his fellow goons to track me.

[Muirium]

Yes, he is.

Dancing, by the look of it. Remember this ML model is trained on Google’s cache of pictures, many of which will be touristy and cliche: like Highland dancing.

If I were to dance on keyboards: which ones should they be? Not nice ones, surely. Brogues will knock the shit out of them!

[depletedvespene]

Fine, to get back (somewhat) on-topic, and combining that with an unnerving dream I had last night...

"computer keyboard and mouse for an alien octopus"

I suppose an argument could be made that octopuses, alien or otherwise, would be well served by keyboards with small-ish keycaps, as they would be typing with their tentacletips, but they'd prefer to use a large mouse they could grab and operate with an entire tentacle.

OTOH, that begs the question of whether they have fine enough control over the suction cups — if they can be pressed and released individually, they would surely prefer to use those by wrapping a single tentacle over one or two "key rods", where the caps would be tied to their cups.

Goto indeed. But better to move on from the pie fight.

These guys are doing it all; showing off their wares, chatting over snacks, making music, proposing to each other. Boomers live that good life.
