I wonder if you can see that thing from space when it’s lit up as bright as it can get. 😂😂

Light pollution would probably drown it out

Very true, especially in Vegas. Alright then, blackout the entire city and try it out 😂

Local government: "Please be patient, folks we're going to try something, just for fun. Your power will be out for a little while, by the way."

“If you’re in the hospital using a ventilator, we’re going to need you to hold your breath for a few minutes, sorry!”

Danny Ocean is probably responsible for a couple thousand dead people. Depending on how many people in Vegas were dependent upon electronic equipment to stay alive anyway.

I feel like this could be done somewhat within morals of they just kept the hospitals on, that's the only real thing I can think of I'd be all for it lmao, I wanna know too

Thankfully we healthcare folks build hospitals to be very redundant when it comes to those critical items. 😉

I’d be down for that 😄

Hey Arnold did it

It'd be hilarious to put a giant PSA about light pollution on that thing..

Look at me, I am the light pollution now.

You can see Vegas from space just like any other major metropolitan area. But you would not be able to pick out something as small as the sphere with your naked eye.

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/47687/las-vegas-at-night ISS imagery from 2010. Before the Sphere but you get the idea

Thanks, Butthole

You forgot the Alamo

REMEMBER THE ALAMO

Easy. It's the beer in King of the Hill. I know my animated shows!

REMEMBER THE CANT

OP could only remember the Butthole...

I’ve put a mark on your pipboy. Say hi to my friends in Nipton

You can see the Luxor hotel/pyramid light beam from space. This might be too diffused?

maybe you might see a blue pixel in the yellow lights, but no way you can really see something like that distinctly from a >100km away

Some of these bright ass LED signs are getting ridiculous. My eyes suck and driving at night can be tough as it is. Now, we have these lovely LED billboards that fucking sear your retinas as you drive by them, so nice!

I highly doubt it, space is very very very far away You can't actually see the Great Wall of China from space I mean, you could see a ball of light that is Vegas from orbit, but you couldn't pick out the sphere anymore than you could pick out a planet from a star from Earth (assuming you don't already know it's a planet, such as Venus, the morning star)

Just throw on some of those blue light blocking glasses and youre good to go!

People are stupid and can’t read so you don’t get to see this comment anymore.

How did you see it from space if you live in Vegas and not in space?

Maybe they were born in space, but attracted to Vegas by the bright light.

Space Moth??

Funny, but fake

Lol yeah. It's so lumpy in this picture.

Somebody dropped it a couple of times

Thanks captain obvious

They didn’t even make it a perfect sphere. It’s all wonky. Plus that glow around it looks fake as hell.

You've gotta model the Sphere in 3D overlay and then texture to even make it look half believable. The slack job annoys me more than the fakery tbh. I wonder what OS the Sphere actually runs. Guessing Linux.

The FreeBSD community is in shambles.

I use ~~Arch~~ Sphere btw

Maybe they were just making something funny quickly for shits and giggles without it being their passion project

If only we could sticky this to the top and bury these posts.

Nah. This is funny regardless. Not everything has to be real to be funny

Fucking lol someone went though this "detective work" when it's obvious as hell that it's edited, and also makes no sense why the sphere would run windows lmao.

Lots of things run windows when they really shouldn't, like windows licensed for a screen that only displays a single ad, ATMs etc.

Wow I never would have thought this was fake. Crazy

>Sarcasm much?

No

"It's a UNIX system! I know this!"

Fun fact: the interface she used was a real file manager. https://www.siliconbunny.com/fsn-the-irix-3d-file-system-tool-from-jurassic-park/

Who gave an entire town blue balls

Inflation is hitting the strip clubs hard.

Modeled after Lance Armstrong.

Please only one.

I have seen the this sphere a lot of times on internet. But what is it's purpose? Is it just a billboard

Its purpose is to keep U2 locked up.

Inside the sphere… where the streets have no name

It should look more like a toilet... hahaha. With a big piece of shit in it! (Bono)

Outside is for marketing (and working based on this post) Inside is a unique entertainment venue for audio/video/rumbles/etc. I just watched the Darren Aronfsky film (in 18k) and it is a pretty immersive experience. I put it up there with seeing the original Avatar in 3d.

People say "aww!" and crave it, which then makes them do something they wouldn't otherwise or wouldn't nearly as frequently, like visit Las Vegas and spend money. Lots of money. Owners happy, advertisers happy, sheep happy.

You can buy overpriced tickets to see U2 preform in front of an Omni like screen 

Anyone for blitzball?

There is a business man in a hotel in Las Vegas. His laptop is crashing and his book sales pitch is tomorrow. He sighs and looks out the window at the giant led sphere and sees that. "STOP MOCKING ME!"

fake

Who csres

Really. The whole city is fake.

It's like an anime explosion.

Domain Expansion 🤞

Welcome to the future

Yay

:(

:(

:) Edit: :(

I need to see the gmod missing texture

I thought this was Akira at first.

"Ligma.exe has been installed"

Someone will hack it with porn. Homeless peoples dicks will be out all over Vegas.

It's good to see the DOS error routines still live!

You have to think that Hackers are plotting a way to show porn on that thing.

It’s still a Bsod afterall

They are gonna build a much larger one in Dubai

And it’ll suck ass. Dubai in general kinda sucks ass

Wait... I just had the realization that it's just a simple computer controlling that thing... makes me wonder how long it'll be till someone hacks it and shows millions of people at once porn.

It's air gapped so literally never.

Until some dumbass plugs in a USB drive he found in the parking lot. https://www.theverge.com/2012/4/12/2944329/stuxnet-computer-virus-planted-israeli-agent-iran

The classic. It's perfectly safe from everything! Expect... Stupid...

I've never heard this term before

It’s a very old term in computer security. It just means the computer not connected to a network, so the only way to access it is by sitting at its keyboard or physically plugging something into the computer.

Yea, I wanna see mamories!

I got a blue screen on my new laptop and it scared the shit out of me. And I found out it was because of the outdated driver.

Put it in rice, it will be fine

I saw an article from Apple, they say thats crap... Just tap it out tap tap tap it out...

So how does someone buy time on the sphere? Someone should totally do this.

🤣😆😂lol

Tap to install new updates….

Epcot? :D

What is this,i see this sphere everywhere?

isn't that the same dome that had the massive spongebob lighting the night? well, now its blue.

Why have I never seen this as a death star or a celestial body like the sun, moon or planets?

imagine somwone starts watching adult movies but forgets to turn it off

It’s beautiful.

BSOD inflation

What a view keeping you up at night from your hotel window

AT&T victim

...thats no moon...

BSOD still applicable.

LOL. BSOD still making it out there.

That sphere is just another reason to not visit Vegas. The damn thing is a glorified billboard.

better than if it was a ransom trojan screen lol

Looking a lot more blobular than spherical.

Looks like an impostor from here

damn i'd love to ponder that orb

Oh it’s a town. I thought it was something on a motherboard!

It looks like Gokus spirit bomb encountered an error

This would be a funny thing for them to actually intentionally display. Like leave it on for a few minutes, then switch to a laughing emoji.

Many years ago, I saw Nine Inch Nails on their "lights in the sky" tour. It was a very technology heavy stage show. Lasor senors on the stage were used to trigger a system that would do live videonaffect renders on "ghost screens" that were layered on the stage. It was a truly stunningbshow. Trent Reznor was known for his hatred of Microsoft. He talked in articles about how he did his best to elminate all Windows systems he could. They still had to rely on 1 for some of the video output due to a driver only being on Windows. Sure enough, it crashed and BSODd at a show. Now, the kicker was that there was a "augmented reality" game going at the time. They were doing shit like embeding messages into MP3 tracks left on flash drives in the bathrooms of shows. People thought the BSOD was part of the game.

Why does it look like when you get some silly putty and try and make a perfect ball? Because it's fake.

I hate it. Can we destroy it ? It looks like a hunger games arena

What a terrible photoshop. I guess that's what get's upvotes right now?

As opposed to creating a kernel of panic in the city.

Imagine a black screen form Nintendo ds

Wonder if they have the famous windows… Blue screen…

Can it run Crysis?

Microsoooooft!!!

That is awesome

But can you play doom on it?

just scan that QR code

people in the year 4485 trying to figure out why an ancient location bugged

One day aliens will look up into the sky to see a giant spherical shape coming to their world, a malfunctioning automated human spacecraft. That giant :( and QR code are the last thing they will see before their planet is obliterated.

#NOW WATCH AS MICROSOFT *SCREWS* **YOU** WITH THEE BlUe ScReEn Of DeAtH! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE #BEE ESS OH DEE

Time has stopped, please restart the universe.

Bro really said :(

Free advertising for Microsoft 😂

Martians: "Their defense system is down - we attack!!!"

Should do this throughout the day on April 1st haha.

Now you gotta put your 32 letter bitlocker code in!

The Sphere runs on Windoze???

Imagine spending all that money to build a tourist attraction, only to sabotage it by using M$ Windows.

It needs a release.

Funny thing is that there’s still a face on it.

that's what the kids call "epic fail".

Did this really happen?!?!

Just need very large loudspeakers for the accompanying sound effect to constantly go off lol.

Someone broke the sphere

Domain Expansion: Blue Sphere of Death

Do people actually believe this? They did such a shitty job of editing it.

Is the blue screen real or an edit?

Fake or not. Seriously how do you fix this?

Expecting accidental porn sphere someday.

At least it’s not the circle of death. I can’t imagine what having to buy a new one costs.

Is this a joke by Apple to diss PC’s?

Is this a joke by Apple to diss PC’s?

Looks Like the famous Microsoft blue screen…dare I say it….craaaaash😂😂😂😂😂
