I was sometimes able to get it to work by making a quick loud vocal sound.

No, but for some reason, I still clap to turn lights on or off.
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.
always wanted one of these things.
great for lamps that are otherwise a pain to get to to turn on/off.
me n ur mum makin blinkenlichten
Blinklichter?
blinking lights
My Canon camera can take a photo by clapping or saying cheese or making a loud enough sound.
perfect for capturing sneezes
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
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.
Now we have clanckers that do the same, but with voice commands!
Friends had one. They had a yappy dog. The light would turn off and on when th dog barked.
The yapper? I like it
watch porn --> get epilepsy
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
Obligatory technology connections video:
With the magic of buying two of them, he has two of them (duh)
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
Netflix and chill nightmare
