@peter This could be literally one chapter of the office

@ZenHeathen I also saw this ....

@peter I love how it dramatically raises its hand in the end. As if someone programmed it with basic theatre class.

@peter BTW, the word "Qual" in Qualcomm in German means agony.

@peter he's taking his union-mandated charge break!

[supersluether@tech.lgbt]

@peter pfft I love how they were ready to cover it up, like they expected this might happen

[f4grx@chaos.social]

@peter thats an actual pivot, but not around the expected axis.

@peter the shroud kills me.

[connynasch@mastodon.social]

@olkosena I read an earlier comment which I considered hilarious: "rest in pieces" @peter

[connynasch@mastodon.social]

@RidersBlock Nooo https://countbinface.com/ @peter

@peter @rmondello nothing ships units like hauling a corpse off stage during your presentation

[undead@masto.hackers.town]

@peter

I actually watched this through to the end, hoping for the robot to just spontaneously start thrashing around and someone to get kicked in the groin.

That didn't happen.

@peter
Why am I reminded of this scene from The IT Crowd.

[brokar@mastodon.social]

@peter With this in a presentation i'm never sure if this was really an accident or if this is part of a clever marketing strategy. Like the Bluescreen in Gates' presentation. Or the "forgotten" IPhone prototype in a bar. Just to create a memorable incident to lead more views towards and focus on the product and to stay in the discussions, make it unforgettable.

@peter Thank you for that, it was an excellent series of laughs. The little hand held up! The shroud! They were very quick with the shroud.

[venitamathias@masto.ai]

@peter RIP

[passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social]

@autiomaa @KanaMauna @peter well, it didn’t explode like the other ones did. Still the best choice.

[shironeko@fedi.tesaguri.club]

@peter they had the black tarps ready to go

[bluestarultor@tech.lgbt]

@Brokar @peter Okay, but this thing lost a whole foot and also shattered, leaving shards of plastic all over. So not only did it fail, but it looks like cheap materials.
