The apps they want to use may have code which tries to detect whether it's running on a legitimate phone. It is probably easier just to have a bunch of actual phones than to play an endless cat-and-mouse game trying to create countermeasures for such code and making your fake environment look as legitimate as possible.

They can not remove color blindness.

Filtering out the range of wavelengths which stimulate both red and green receptors strongly will result in you becoming unable to distinguish colors which differ only in those wavelengths. That will in fact give a person with normal vision a new color blindness.

The most they can do is change which pairs of colors a colorblind person is unable to distinguish.

I guess we found out why it's impossible to find a salesperson in Lidl stores.

"Huoh" is an onomatopoeic word similar to sigh in Finnish, but there is no such thing as a happy huoh, it is exasperated by definition.

If you experience motion sickness in a game, try increasing the FoV, or if that's not possible to a big enough extent, try decreasing the window size which has the same effect.

25 years ago, drives which automatically and smoothly loaded and unloaded the media seemed so cool and futuristic. Today, the disk insertion/ejection mechanism of a classic floppy drive sounds and feels incredibly satisfying.

A NASA document explaining a flight model will list the simplifying assumptions: "A linear aircraft model for a rigid aircraft of constant mass flying over a flat, nonrotating earth is derived and defined".

Flat earthers: "Flight dynamics are linear? Of course not. Airplanes are rigid and do not flex? Of course not. Airplanes have a constant mass and don't consume fuel? Of course not. Airplanes fly over a flat and nonrotating earth? Guys! NASA confirms the Earth is flat and stationary!"

Leaving this comment in the hope that someone will actually explain the negative price. However, wrong answers are also accepted.

In the story, there *was* a wolf. The villagers reciting the story are just sticking to calling the first two times a lie because otherwise they would have to admit that they were wrong to dismiss it.

I see what you did there.

I imagine that's exactly what happened but the villagers are the people telling the story so it comes out biased.

What a frustrating website.

The video on top: not the video.

The link in "made the comments in a video posted to Instagram on Saturday": a Newsweek topic page for Instagram.

The link in "In a video posted on his Instagram account": his Instagram account, not the video.

I gave up and closed the page, making a mental note not to click on a Newsweek link again.

It's fine, that's just a visual effect they project onto it.

Sadly, the TV network was going to abruptly cancel the show at the end of the 4th season if I recall correctly, leading to the creator having to force an ending to it one season too early, and then changed their minds, leading to the creator having to deal with the changed end of season 4 when making season 5.

Nevertheless, it's an excellent show. It's also fun to recognize all the foreshadowing when watching it again.
