The importance of QA

I can't over-emphasize the importance of this video. And I can't stop laughing :rofl2:

Can you please explain what this is supposed to be?!

At first I thought it would be like in the scene in "Idiocracy" – adults unable to map 2D←→3D shapes

I hope this embedding these downscaled and heavily compressed movie images is within "Fair Use". Just for illustration purposes.
I recommend buying that movie!

My second thought was that the box/lid was badly designed/manufactured (by that women that seems to try hard not to start crying).

At last the video description states she's an actor.
=========

Maybe I'm the idiot here and openly confess: I don't understand this.

The design is severely flawed. Something like this is meant to be a teaching tool for toddlers (or younger), but it should be designed in a way that it is impossible to fit the wrong shape in the wrong hole. The QA guy was demonstrating to the engineer, how she failed at this.

The importance is that this applies to pretty much everything, including programming. Without preventing unintended uses, you get buffer overflows, leading to privilege escalation and code execution. You get things like all of the glitches in every Metroid game. Metroid Dread added Easter-eggs, fully intending people to find sequence-breaks... but I guarantee you that they never intended for it to be possible to phase down through a floor... (as an example).

I think what he's trying to show (with a bit of sarcasm), is that almost all of the shapes can fit & go through the square shape (major flaw) , which means that this "thing" fails to do its job properly. Well at least he didn't show us that ALL the shapes can go through the circle.. 🤭

    @Veho, where's the poll at?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    https://anbernic.com/blogs/news/get-your-game-on-meet-the-anbernic-rg-cube
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    they're giving the internet an open text box?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I never played or own any of they devices, but I like small style, but with a somewhat grip
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    oh man, that always goes great!
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    im sure half the responses won't be literal racial slurs or "drop table" jokes
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Look, it's China. They know what it's like when you give a poll to half a billion trolls.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much dollar do you think it is?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    ONE MILLION DOLLA
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Probably $150 someone said Anbernic said around the same price as rg556
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    you know which game i wish they would rerelease
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    sonic unleashed
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Make it a happy meal toy
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not getting dragged into that again.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    is sega just personally fucking with me? are they laughing while watching me through my kinect camera as i get up to restart my xbox for the third time because the game froze again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Buy handhelds from five below better quality
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Valve probably going to do another refresh of the deck this fall with rog ally like specs tbh
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A smaller form factor would be nice too.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    A shield portable 2 would be nice aye Nvidia
