Lately I’ve been getting some nice laughs from a Reddit section that calls out stupid computer tricks. The most common items are AI running off at the mouth, getting lost in endless random numbers or stuttering the same word forever.
Especially good: Commercial display boards stuck in BIOS setup mode.
This one gave me a special tickle. It’s not software as such, it’s a misplaced movie description in a streaming app.
The Shawshank Redemption. 2016, Warner Bros
Peter Parker’s relaxing English vacation takes an unexpected turn.
I served time in the real Shawshank in 1969. Can verify that it was not a vacation, not English, and not relaxing. Can also verify that Peter Parker’s vacation wouldn’t be turned, but Peter would be turned.
