I loved that guy - and Rick Sanchez abusing them.

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 4 points 3 weeks ago

I had some of those on as wallpapers for years.

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

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 18 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 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 4 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Cave Johnson is disappointed that you spelled his name as “Cabe Johnson”. Watch out for lemons after dark.

[–] elvith@feddit.org 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I need a sticker of those!

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?

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.

And i asked what you asked what.

[–] DragonAce@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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 7 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] jack_of_sandwich@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

Because that's how you get access to most of the functionality people would want a smart TV for.

Sure you can just hook it up to cable and a blu ray player but most people want a smart TV to stream from Hulu or other services.

You can set up a local service to stream video from your own media server, but that's beyond most users technically

the answer is consumerism

Perfection! Thanks!

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

The pictogram on this one makes more sense IMO

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ironically:

Internet of Thing = secure Internet of Things = insecure.

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