OT - 'cause some of us need a little break

The "Can you hear me?" story seems to date from 2017 and is far from certain to eb correct (most uses of your voice would require more than just a "Yes" to be useful) https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/can-you-hear-me-scam/

Okay, so that's not so new then.

I recall a similar scam was out several years ago when the caller would be responding with "can I put you on hold?" - hold being an acronym for some service they would then be charging people for. I don't recall what the H.O.L.D. stood for.

Here's a little puzzle -- if anybody has the time and parts and inclination to give it a try to confirm if he's pulling legs or that there really is a way to get some free energy -->> and post the photo proof here! tia

You read the comments!

Yup

I also googled it, the lightbulbs need a power source to work, either with electric outlets, batteries or generator

Catherine3678ab

Now, if one were to make a whole bunch of those lights, long-lasting power supply, turn them on and cut off the pull string ... and hang them up out of reach all over the place in a party room or some such {using fishing line for invisibility}, then invite over the people for the party ... oh yes, be sure to have cameras stratigically placed to catch the reactions of the people ... see how long it takes them to realize that they are not wired to the walls or ceiling ... yes I have too much free time ...

From a few years ago ...

Scammers are using AI to mimic voices - targeting production companies eager for big name actors, etc.

Faeryl Womyn

Something tells me that's not milk coming out of the butterfly/moths bottom lol

Catherine3678ab

Well thankfully for what it's used for, I don't have to worry about it ;-)

Wanna try something a little different?

Check out my Inspirations Page

I originally made it for myself. I peruse a lot of this type of thing while I'm waiting for a simulation or animation render

Be warned though. There's some pretty fun stuff in there!

Dartanbeck

Like this, which I particularly like!

Dartanbeck

..and the Thomas Schwenke collection, also in the Homage page

He does Medical and Technical How-It's-Done videos using Carrara and they're Amazing!!!

 

Not shown in there, this is Thomas' Medical & Technical Animation Showreel
