Ikea worker here. This is done on purpose and it’s supposed to just “look like code” but without actually being code. Reason is complicated but it’s mainly to avoid any kind of possible issue displaying valid code. The graphic team goes to quite some lengths to ensure things “look good”. See that even the windows taskbar is not windows or the icons are weird… everything is carefully placed and designed.
With the proper hoodie, that screen let you hack into the nasa.
How do you even write that. AI HTML slop?
I think it's older than AI, probably some intern copy-pasting HTML snippets with no regard for structure
Not everything is designed by interns. Idk why there's this reflex that's like "oh, this doesn't look 100% real, probably some intern".
Because people expect the average salaryman to know what they are doing (though it’s often not the case), so they bash on interns.
It's also based on the assumption that an intern designed something with no oversight which was then printed and placed in stores, which is absurd on the face of it.
Did piratesoftware also work at IKEA?
It looks like the code was written incorrectly on purpose, so people can't say they don't know how to program.
Yea, it's basically the equivalent of Lore Ipsum for code. It's meant to /look like/ code without actually showing anything real.
that's not even a code
Is that a display or cover? Top left has a peel?
It's usually a monitor with valuable things removed and a sticker on it
What in the world is that? Cursed html?
Quam reptata turerum quae?
I've seen worse HTML in the wild 🤷🏻
"I'm in."
I've seen worse

It’s better markup than most ai
Even furniture runs on debug mode.
