@tychotithonus @AlisonW @cstross Related: We were watching "Grantchester" the other night, one of about a million British cop shows that the missus and I are addicted to. "Grantchester" is set in 1961. In one scene, a woman in an office is typing at a typewriter with the bar that holds the paper down flipped up. A very prominent, glaring error to me. But it occurred to me that quite probably nobody involved in that scene had ever used a typewriter.

I remember an infamous example from about a decade ago now where there was some pic circulating about someone using a hot-tipped tool and holding it by the wrong end! (obviously it wasn't on at the time, but also obviously it was just a model "using" it) π

There are a lot of stock photos allegedly someone using a soldering iron on a circuit board where they hold the heated element and have the board upside down too.
@AlisonW @SmartmanApps @mitchw @tychotithonus Betcha there's stock out there of a model typing on a low-profile wireless bluetooth keyboard β¦ with the spacebar at the top and the numeric keypad on the left.
@cstross @AlisonW @SmartmanApps @mitchw @tychotithonus I hear the genAI #DemonCore operator's guide has been withdrawn...
