Yeah, this particular “orbiting circles” thing is somewhat common in sci-fi media, even the “it lines up and stops” part.
I think that’s likely why you’re getting negative responses. People look at your (neat) animation and go “oh, look generic sci-fi macguffin” but see you acting like you think it’s some sort of hidden or alien knowledge then think you’re a crackpot.
Wish I could say I’m surprised.
Elias Thorne, goblins and ghouls, is there somewhere all these “sticky topics” have been aggregated?
fun fact: a few months before the big crowdstirke incident, they did the same thing to their Linux customers. I can only assume it didn’t make headlines due to lower adoption rates and what I suspect was far easier remediation.
“memory famine” -> “AI data center greed”
One of my favorites is “can the network handle a loop?” Plug one port into another, it’ll be fun.
More seriously, that doesn’t look like a passive dumb switch/hub/splitter so you should be fine. Kind of regret not taking the chance in school to bring down the whole network back when dumb ones were more common.
“no, I prefer my brain to stay asleep thank you. asleep, smooth, and pristinely unwrinkled.”
Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
Yeah, why would you ever hang those upside down unless that’s what you were going for? Or you could just cut or snap off the handles.
Wouldn’t you also need to replace the first letter of most words with R as well?

Not sure it would be much different, honestly.
God, I was just enjoying some cyberpunk-adjacent media yesterday and laughed at the satire of an in universe news outlet complaining about “anticonsumerist terrorism”.
Something something torment nexus
Are you high right now? It’s a shit post in the shit posting community. I took it as a joke about how “sooper serious” the DARE program took itself while being entirely toothless and not particularly educational.

Blue had better Pokemon sprites (graphics).
So in Japan, it was originally Pokemon Red and Green. The original third version was Blue, with bug fixes and some updated Pokemon sprites.
Japanese Blue was used as the base of the international Red and Blue versions, but for some reason they included the original sprites in international Red version. Maybe to make more differences between international Red and Blue?
Yellow was actually a fourth version, lol.
This is also why the GBA remakes were Fire Red and Leaf Green.
Yes, but. Big but.
The devs of the games included in that email signed off on it before it went out. The version the devs were shown had no “runes” included.
GOG has acknowledged that those runes can display on some devices distinctly as the symbol for the SS, so they did not send this email to subscribers subscribed in the German language. Instead of just using a different fucking symbol, or not using it twice in a row.
As far as I understand it, those are pretty random runes, not specifically Slavic at all.
Taken as a whole, it shows that they had some idea of how this would appear, and they went through with it anyway, for no obvious benefit.
Not a good look.
“Fun” fact: Windows is finally just now, in the year of our lord 2026, trying to release some updates as “live”. As in not requiring reboot.
It’s going better than you’d expect, but still far worse than they have any excuse for.
Lol, are you kidding? IT gets to experience the suck of using it, and of administrating it. For as bad as the front end of Microsoft stuff is, the back end is usually worse.
