Looks like someone at Sony heard the old joke "please drink a verification can to continue and verify that you are <username> by saying 'Doritos Dew it right!'", which was about Xbox, and thought "this is kinda neat".
I really cannot believe I am reading this headline. Granted it is from 2 years ago, but still.
- bombcar 5y agoCan a 4chan copypasta be used as prior art?
- tapoxi 5y agoThis predates that, the patent is from 2009. The Reddit thread is from 2020.
- diputsmonro 5y agoWell, the reddit thread is referencing a 4chan post that is much older. Looks like this is a screenshot of the original post, from 2013: https://m.imgur.com/dgGvgKF https://m.imgur.com/dgGvgKF So the patent still predates the joke by a few years, but not by that much.
