That's a fun premise, but it wouldn't be enough except that in her gremlin form she's drawn as being about two feet tall - and the virtual camera angles used in the animation follow that little absurdity as if it had been carved in stone and handed down on Mount Sinai. They never call attention to it directly, but it's there in every scene. It also helps that she's not actually bad, or lazy, she just human and can't maintain her perfect image 24x7.
When In Doubt Bribe the Reviewer Video of the Day Hardware Unboxed made news not long ago when they posted a critical review of an Nvidia graphics card and Nvidia blacklisted them from receiving review samples. That caused a shitstorm across all the popular review sites and YouTube channels. Hardware Unboxed is a smaller Australian channel and even they have nearly 800,000 subscribers. Linus Tech tips has over 13 million subscribers and they picked up that story and Nvidia was forced to back down. Same thing here. LG has contacted Hardware Unboxed and said, in effect, that the people responsible for firing the people responsible, have now been fired. The LG division involved in this - their IT services department, not the producer of the product under review - has been relieve of any future involvement in that process. I don't trust LG, but they probably won't repeat that particular mistake. Multiple people have pointed out that the whole thing was pointless anyway, because the product and the center of the controversy is actually good. I May Have Already Used This Anime Music Video of the Day I need to start keeping a list. Disclaimer: And they'll none of them be missed. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

That's . . . cool? It selected the text on the laptop screen; I could cut and paste it. It's like: raise "Invalid Reporter type" end end def self.parse_results(args) parser_class = Res.parser_class(args[:parser]) parser_class.new(args[:file]) end Posted by: m at June 13, 2021 02:36 AM (fVJPF) 3
I copy pasted the text, used Ctrl A to get it all, and it was the opening from the 1984 Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text based game.

The "OPM hack" is another gem, often used even by people who should know better. The government under the watchful eye of everybody outsourced the OPM database - every federal government employee, ever, including military to a chinese cutout, including access to root.
I think maybe some or even a lot of the "data compromise" stuff, the "We wuz hacked!" awfully convenient, or a CYA. Personal data and info is sold. Hacking is the excuse. Posted by: Common Tater at June 13, 2021 03:09 AM (Ejylv) 8
Text I got (just the beginning):
Fibonacci Numbers with Caramel Sauce. This recipe prints the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. It uses an auxiliary recipe for caramel sauce to define Fibonacci numbers recursively.

Audi / Volkswagen got hacked, if the term hacked is relevant when you connect a database directly to the internet. (Bleeping Computer)
Wait, wasn't VW the one that was cheating the world on diesel emission test results? Oh yeah, they paid a $4.3 billion fine. The only customer base dumber than the VW one is the GM one, that royally rogered every customer with a warranty when they faked a bankruptcy. GAF meter implodes, creating a mini black hole. All their customers get sucked into it, ejected into Universe 666, where they live stupidly everafter. Posted by: GnuBreed at June 13, 2021 04:09 AM (F0YaR) 20

Once you start paying Danegeld you never rid yourself of the Dane. The end result being running out of said geld and being pillaged by the Dane anyway.
