Beautiful, forgot about this one. The precursor to some of neal.fun's creations. - https://neal.fun/not-a-robot/ - https://neal.fun/password-game/

I once worked for a mainstream headphone manufacturer who added a volume control to a product that was so widely despised that a special firmware release had to be done to disable it completely, or else the returns bin would overflow almost overnight .. So this had me chuckling so hard, having worked professionally in the pro audio world for decades - I can say that some of these 'solutions' would actually be accepted in certain market segments .. I especially love the designs which use a built-in accelerometer. It seems the good ol' knob is not going anywhere any time soon.

I'd add the volume control for Quicktime 4. A dial that you had to use a mouse to use. http://hallofshame.gp.co.at/qtime.htm EDIT: previously 763 points by yankcrime on July 13, 2021 | hide | past | favorite | 477 comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27819384
