Something I love bringing up again from time to time: a little more than five years ago a friend and I found a functional microphone in a smart kitchen appliance that wasn't advertised to have one. The product in question was being promoted hard by Lidl because they sold it at a fraction of the price of similar devices.

It made national & european news and I was interviewed by the biggest TV news show at prime time.

All we wanted was run Doom on the thing. We installed Discord on it and hopped into a call because we thought it would be funny and fell off our chairs when it turned out the person on the other side could hear us just fine

I'm not a fan of the excuse "the writer was unfamiliar with English and didn't know better" when the initial response was "this change is political and we adhere to norms that stipulates 'he' should be defaulted to as a natural pronoun" but hey I guess that was just one person and that they're trying to put out that fire right now
