Where and what is this usually?

My guess is the blue screen picture is fake, but it’s still pretty funny.

Only a matter of time before somebody hacks this and starts playing porn for the whole city.

[-] TurretCorruption@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

I feel like the popilation of vegas would respond to that much more positively than the italian senate.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

It's fine. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 17 points 1 year ago

Except STDs. :(

[-] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The largest gaping anus in the whole world.

We should use the guy from interestingasfuck on reddit

I'm picturing a meatspin around the vertical axis.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Directed by Darren Aronofsky? Weird as shit.

[-] ritswd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I hadn’t even noticed that. Yeah, weird idea…

Yeah, it’s amazing how much of a pass Vegas gets about the complete lack of sustainability. Like, for instance, I don’t know, having tons of thirsty tourists and gigantic pools in the middle of a freaking desert! Kinda nuts…

Thanks for that, I definitely learned some. I’m not surprised that it takes some smart thinking to get this to even be remotely possible, and it’s interesting to read what smart thinking goes into it. I was at Lake Mead recently, and it was impressive to be explained how much it had receded over the past few years, and how much of a strain on it Vegas keeps putting despite the mitigation. I wonder how long before it just runs out, if it does; and what happens next.

[-] jumperalex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's painful seeing how low it is. I lived there back in '99 which meant I also got to drive/ride over the damn itself. Good times.

[-] biddy@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

The US has terrible land management in general. You build these huge sprawling cities made of low density suburbs, both wasting productive farmland in the east and isolated in the middle of the desert in the west. It's all completely nuts.

[-] FeliXTV27@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

I think water-wise are LA and especially Phoenix much worse than Vegas.

[-] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 0 points 1 year ago

Damn, that's going to be worth a lot of shower piss, that's for sure!

[-] CollinTG@beehaw.org 13 points 1 year ago

It’s the Las Vegas sphere that I think recently opened. From what I can see, there’s a stage and seating inside it for events.

DEFCON's going to be great this year

[-] weirdly_austin@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

I litterly built that place, we erected the steel. I did my job, don't know about the electricians though 😂😂😂

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

That wouldn't be an electrician's fault. This is an error in windows. Realistically it would prob be the fault of some unknown programmer

[-] DerEineDa@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

Sorry, but you can't know that. A bluescreen is often caused by hardware errors, like faulty RAM modules and so on. In theory this could absolutely be caused by an unstable energy supply that could be the fault of an electrician. I am not saying that this is likely, but we cannot know.

[-] weirdly_austin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Eh, I just wanted to poke at the electricians. No hate, just fun!

[-] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 year ago

Is this a shoop or did this actually happen?

[-] Zerfallen@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely fake. Funny idea though.

[-] marcar@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is the blue orb of death, very different

[-] zumi 14 points 1 year ago

I assume this is fake, but still very funny.

We are truly living the most boring dystopia.

[-] oolio@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

That orb desevers some pondering.

[-] lockhart@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Blueballing

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I am having a hard time reasoning why companies use windows for such things. Sure it's convenient and has a great (size, not that the economy is good) economy. But the OS is bs when it comes to stability.

[-] Simplesyrup@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

God I hate Windows

[-] Daniikk1012@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

What is this? Did they remake the sphere from Expo 2017, but in Vegas?

[-] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My lifetime goal has been to speed run Super Metroid on the biggest screens possible... Anybody want to hook me up?

[-] ch00f@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] TheRealKuni@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Shit, we’d better get IT out to Neptune fast. Who knows what having an unresponsive planet will do to the solar system?

[-] Letto@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This looks like it would make a hilarious Akira edit
