      A movie theater around where I used to live had recliners and you could lift up the arm rest if you wanted to cuddle with the person next to you. It was pretty great. People would often bring blankets.

          It’s the lack of cleanliness that will bother me. People will be eating on it too. Not sure if the theater has enough time to change the sheets after every showing.

            The cleanliness, the fact that people in rows above you can see you, and realistically you’ll be wearing clothes in that, and more stuff. Overall I don’t think I could get as comfy as my own bed lol

        If you mean the bit beside the bed, I assume it’s a storage cubby (maybe for shoes since you’re laying down?), but the article I stole the image from really doesn’t mention anything other than that there’s apparently a phone charger there

    Who the fuck takes a picture of their screen like that. Not only is it the classic picture of a screen, but at such a stupid angle? And is the laptop lid half way closed too?

      Maybe it was the only angle they could get without any sort of artifacting?

      I dunno.

      Been in IT too long to question why people do stupid shit with computers. There is rarely a good answer.

      In fact, the only good answer I had was from a Doctor, which was surprising.

      He wondered if we could map functions and modifiers to one of those MMO mice (gaming peripherals got a LOT of use at that place)

      I asked, doing my due diligence, if there was an issue with the keyboard.

      No, he just lost a hand in a car wreck when he was younger and mouse macros would just be a lot more efficient for him.

      Fair enough, lets take a look at mice and their software and figure out what to order and how to hook it into the medical software.

        I remember at my first proper job being asked to assist a blind man to get his computer working as he wanted it to, he worked in a different department and it was fascinating to see him interact with the computer.

        He allways had the screen reader on at a low volume and mostly had normal computer issues, he had fitted some extra bumps on the keyboard to make it easier to navigate.

        I even helped him as he remoted in and needed his RSA token reset, that was the one thing I remember that he couldn’t manage alone and he had his wife read him the numbers off of the token, other than that, I don’t remember him having any extra issues with the computer.

        Anyway, I helped him install a mechanical braille display, I still don’t understand how it enabled him to navigate windows, or perhaps he just used it for documents…

        Anyway, until then I had no idea about braille displays.

      Seems like it works fine for a meme purpose, which it was obviously for. The framing and focus is actually spot on for giving all the info a viewer needs.

      it’s for TikTok, and screen recording a video vertically is pretty difficult for your average person

      here’s a recreation where I was testing to see if the font matches

      I have a Pixel phone so that’s probs why the emojis are different, the snake emoji is cuter tho :) 🐍🐍

      1. It’s wayyyy easier to click the camera button in your social media app than to take a screenshot and send it to your phone

      2. The angle isn’t that bad, it frames the relevant information well enough and leaves room for the caption

      3. To reduce the glare? To get the shallow focus? I dunno lol

        I bet 3 is just from holding a phone right-side up and close to the screen, trying to capture info a lot lower than where the camera is. Could’ve zoomed though
