An example from my day job which I’ve been doing for almost 20 years.

A customer, while looking at his phone, said what I was telling him was wrong with 100% confidence. The trick is he was looking at the same thing (in the catalogue) I was, which had the real answer. He was literally denying reality and it confused me at the time. I only realised afterwards he was reading off the AI results as if the AI was all knowing and had the true answer.

Unrelated, but does anyone know how to stop my A/C from beeping out morse code adverts for McAfee?

I wouldn’t use a painted key in a lock. Any material debris in a lock adds resistance and that paint coming off in the lock pretty quickly.

I don’t know if that was the original commenters point but that’s why I wouldn’t.

Nah, a business with that name would dominate the market.

Considering the far-right push to obliterate privacy, current and historically, it’s a really poor look for a company with a privacy product.

It’s rumoured that Australia will look to banning VPNs next for “protecting the children” after recently mandating proof of age laws to a bunch of services like social media and pornography.

Damn, that would’ve made a much better title. My hats off to you for that one!

Eventually it becomes other people’s problem, not yours.

I normally don’t click on video links (usually can’t be arsed) but that was a good one!
