When the Machine Translation wants to sell Girls (180KB)

Blog entry Gallery
Searching for information about CD-R containing gold… Are they better or snake-oil? Are they still available and how expensive are they?
Well, the answer to the first question: I don't know if they are more long-lived than regular CD-R.
The answer to the availability is "Yes!" and the answer to the price question is "Ridiculously high!"

But seriously, amazon.de, that offer (apparently translated with the help of a machine instead of a real translator) is totally not okay. Gaga translation. Right in advance, they get my favorite

Without more words, here the screenshot. I provided literal English translation for it below.

While the adjective "jungfräulich" can be used in figurative sense of untouched, unchanged (which has associations with blank media) just like in English , "Jungfrau" means exactly: a virgin (girl/woman) – and nothing more.
What is the machine translation trying to sell me? I order this and get… virgin girls, but have to print them? In a 3D printer? Or should I associate it with human trafficking?

The second part doesn't make any sense at all.

Mhhm. In this case? Yes. It's just ridiculous (and the offer is even sold out so no relevance whatsoever).

In general… I disagree partially. Sometimes descriptions aren't understandable – like in impossible to find out what the text is about. Just a random sequence of words.

In my opinion, the customer must at least have a chance to fully understand what is for sale. It's not that those results only appear on page 78. Sometimes horribly translated stuff shows up under the top results for normal products… like a smartphone protector (pouch, pocket or just a foil). This can make finding a fitting product very hard (I've had that problem).

    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
