It’s better markup than most ai
Even furniture runs on debug mode.
With the proper hoodie, that screen let you hack into the nasa.
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.
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?
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'm in."
I've seen worse
IKEA is from Sweden, and Sweden allegedly has more software engineers per capita than any other country, so this makes a weird kind of sense.
Now AI is going to screen-scrape this image and feed it to half the programmers out there…
I just want to know why it's a piece of paper on the screen and not the actual screen. Kind of defeats the purpose of a display model
I've seen worse HTML in the wild 🤷🏻
Ai do a code please
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.
Is the idea fear of license issues?
Yup pretty much. It varies a little bit by country but in general if you pay attention in the stores you will notice this design choice everywhere… made to look like it’s legit, but it isn’t. Some coworkers do have a lot of fun designing room sets, graphics, special designs… and even play around with memes.
And of course when in doubt, just play it safe and either “change it enough” or consult the legal team of the country…
I see. Displaying some open source might be legit tho.. Like in all hacker movies, some htop, midnight commander and some linux bash command output :)
The thing is not everyone knows about this... Not everyone knows about open source, etc etc... It doesnt need to be legit, it just has to look like it is, since this is just a prop to make the room set ( and the store) look pretty and themed.
