Obligatory technology connections video:
With the magic of buying two of them, he has two of them (duh)
Got one as a gift for Christmas in the early 00’s.
It generally worked, but you needed to be pretty loud, and things could accidentally trigger it.
I bought one just for shits sometime in the 90s, it sure wasn't the most reliable.
as popular as these were, I only think I ever saw one
but now that I am seeing that package, I don't think I ever realized that its the same packaging as Chia pets
the two originate from the same company, iirc.
My grandparents had one in their bedroom.
one night I had to go to the bathroom and saw the lights under the door were flipping on and off repeatedly.
😶
The movie they were watching was so good they clapped for 20 minutes
Grandparents ... 20 minutes
Viagra is a hell of a drug
say what you will, old people knew how to fuck.
my father had 12 siblings.
Maybe lack of birth control pills and spousal rape laws, more than sexual prowess. In general, not your father.
if anyone was clapping cheeks it was gamgam.
Friends had one. They had a yappy dog. The light would turn off and on when th dog barked.
The yapper? I like it
It was pretty useful until I had an argument with my mom and the lights would constantly turn off and on.
Loved my clapper. More reliable at turning the lights on and off than Google Home.
I was sometimes able to get it to work by making a quick loud vocal sound.
“I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.” -Walt Whitman
Yes but I stopped using it when I was a young'n. Turns out that the click CLICK of opening a soda or beer can registered as 2 claps. That stopped being amusing pretty quick.
Had? Still got mine!
i feel like at this point it should be utterly trivial to mount a camera on the ceiling and be able to control things with gestures, like pointing at the computer with the thumb out and rotating the hand to raise and lower volume
the fact that nothing even remotely like this is available is why people don't think technology is fun any more
It’s actually because trial after trial and market research has shown that the vast majority of people don’t want to wave their hands around just to control their electronics.
Not to mention the privacy aspect of allowing full body motion capture in our homes.
you uh, do realize the exact same thing applies to voice control, right? and people pay out the nose for what is just a wiretap
I got one as a Christmas gag gift back around 2015-16 and had it hooked up to a lamp for awhile. Like what other folks have said, you had to be pretty loud with it, and I definitely had it trigger when I didn’t want it to. But still, it’s a fun gimmick. I must’ve lost it at some point during a move, because I lost it a few years ago and kinda wish I still had it
My grandfather was a gadget guy, so the year these came out everyone in the family got one. I used mine for a couple years with varying amounts of success.
Now we have clanckers that do the same, but with voice commands!
me n ur mum makin blinkenlichten
Blinklichter?
blinking lights
Yes, you mean Blinklichter
Netflix and chill nightmare
always wanted one of these things.
great for lamps that are otherwise a pain to get to to turn on/off.
My Canon camera can take a photo by clapping or saying cheese or making a loud enough sound.
perfect for capturing sneezes
No that was too bougie for us, but I did have a string that I had tied from my bed to the light switch. And honestly why did they take away our sticky outy light switches?
There are still tons of them at any hardware store. People just prefer the look of the newfangled ones.
I only know this from the one movie with the terrible grandma neighbour
No, but for some reason, I still clap to turn lights on or off.
