Who else was expecting the fail to be a pornographic picture/video suddenly showing up on the screen? That's how these types of fails usually play out.
If a humble IT man could interject here.. You can see the gesture working. The reason that it isn't changing the photo is because she only loaded one photo, which is hilarious
Half the QVC fails are just because nobody bothered to play test the demonstration before they went live, or nobody bothered to explain the instructions to the demonstrator.
I've never heard of this feature and I was thinking the same thing. In the upper-right corner something appears to confirm that it read her gesture. It just didn't seem to have anything it would need to actually do a thing.
I'm 23 and I don't know jack about technology lol! I actually work in a nursing home in the recovery area. There's a 60 year old woman who's had a fall and shes recovering but she actually works with a big tech company doing an engineering and development job, and has been doing it for over 26 years. Typically Ive learned that it's older and old people who's doing those kinda of jobs. Lol my husband is 11 years older than me and he started small like on phones and computers then he started with minor developments.. but he went into financing cause he had the opportunity to make more money. But he was 31 when I met him and it took him a while to move up in software. The older you get the more you learn. And once you hit a certain age you'll start to decline. But young people are still learning not developing and depending on the person once they hit maybe 70 that's when they'll start declining. My husband's step father is an engineer and currently still has his own company and does mostly everything... he's 79 years old.
Thing is 99% of people out there young or old "have no clue how this works", they might know how to use the functions and interface but that doesn't mean they know how it works. Hell i knew programmers and testers at AMI (who probably helped develop the BIOS that computer is using) that didn't really know how half the systems worked. With that said QVC has a long history of peddling low end dells that were notorious for high failure rates.
@@mrs.noneyabuisness5025 So true! If it wasn't for my old ass self, my boys would not know how to cook seasonally or ancestrally, how to sew on buttons, self care for them and their children, how to make money, how to wipe their butts. May not be computer science but they know how to survive.
Peter Principle. You see that at major corporations all of the time. I live in French Canada. When we get clients from the USA visiting our shop, potential contracts worth millions of dollars, the staff members who can barely speak English are the ones chosen to give them a tour of the shop. Meanwhile my mother tongue is English, as well as others within the shop, and they never ask us to give our clients the tour. DUH?! Some people cannot let go of power and/or attention. I would say it's more of an issue of competence and a lack of proper management. Sometimes ego can tend to get in the way of a business generating revenue. This video would be a prime example of it.
But seriously, as a former salesman, she handled that as well as anyone could have. I mean it could have been a legit issue with the big screen but I hear sales BS loud and clear but again, pro level, real time salesmanship.
Pretty confident there was only one photo in the folder. The gesture thing worked at 0:18 and also looked to be registering on the laptop. Can also see it greyed out which I think means nothing else is in the folder.
Please send help. It all started with the punctured mattress. I figured I'd check out this video but now I see I've joined y'all and now I can't get out of the QVC fail pit!
I now know why hand gestures on laptops didn't take off. Also, I find it interesting that she was showing the Windows 7 media player and photo viewer on Windows 8.1 instead of the Windows 8.x native apps, which shows me how much lots of people didn't like Microsoft's 'complete rethink of Windows' they had with Windows 8.x.
It didn't change because there was only 1 picture in the album. Sometimes the cause is as simple as that. If you look carefully at 0:20, the feature did work.
I thought she was going to put "adult content" in the screen😄😄😄 I remember when something like that happened to a college professor in the middle of full class presentation...
Because, when I give presentations, I love to focus on, and wave to my computer--turning my back on my audience. If you've got to stand in front of your computer to "gesture," why not just tap the right arrow button on the keyboard? Who thought that was a good idea?
She only opened up 1 single photo. The previous and next buttons under the image are greyed out thats why she can't go to the next photo. There isn't any other photos lol
The main point is --> send all of your hard-earned money to QVC to purchase cheap Chinese products that don't function properly (and will wind-up on the ocean floor in a month or two)
Anyone notice the function worked for the videos. She didn't even notice. 0:18
I didn’t until I saw your comment hee hee!
0:49 look upper right, it works. It just windows photo viewer bugging or no more images in that folder.
hahaha
True I'm doing it now as I'm reading this.comment
Oh I thought it was part of the video
I watched 1 video of a lady puncturing a mattress with heels and now I've spent over an hour watching shopping channel fails. Man I love the internet
Wow I just saw that video and now I’m here. Cheers to shared experiences.
@@julisa3100 same to me!!!
That video is how I started on this journey.. haha
I just watched that video too 😂 I guarantee none of us searched for it either
We are the same entity
Who else was expecting the fail to be a pornographic picture/video suddenly showing up on the screen?
That's how these types of fails usually play out.
🙋🏻♂️
I plead guilty on this one.
Thanks, I was worried to be the only one. I was waiting for the D to show up
@@problemimentali lmaoo me toooo 🤣
Nah, it wasn't a live news station.
QVC mattress. What hole have I stumbled into
Good to know someone other than me is here because of that
Yep, here we are..
Yup
That 40% mattress video will be hard to beat 😂
The algorithm!!!
If a humble IT man could interject here..
You can see the gesture working. The reason that it isn't changing the photo is because she only loaded one photo, which is hilarious
So they didn't practice it!
Not an IT guy here. Thats what my first thought was. She should've checked to see how many pics were in the slideshow
I imagine she wasnt in charge of loading images? Surely some production assistant who didn't know she was going to show off that element?
Lmao That is hilarious!
yeah you can see the arrows are greyed out which means she only had one photo lmao :D
It actually was working perfectly the problem was that ere was no other pictures in the gallery to switch to.
That's what I was thinking.
Yep. Was thinking the same.
Exactly

Easier to just hit the arrow keys...
Not if you're old lol
Not if you're old lol
Not if you're old lol
Not if you're old lol
Not if you're old lol
What a useless way to scroll pictures! Lol.
I wanna tilt my head like they do in DBZ to toss ppl around. That’s the gesture I want when I want to swipe photos.
Phones used to have this too and my teacher was flexing it too lol
*I'm in a marathon over this video fails*
Same 🤣
It all started with a punctured mattress.
@@NiaBaNiaMaNia dude that's how i started too LMAO
@@NiaBaNiaMaNia We're all here from that video haha
Have you seen the one with the katana hitting the guy? That's one of the best ones
Probably not working cos only one photo inside the folder
That's what I thought too
That's what I thought, but then she said they had it working earlier.
Also, I realise this comment is 6 years old, but who cares! The future is now!
@@ollie2244 😂😂😂
Maybe it was the last photo in the folder?
i think Now is called the present
man this reminds me of like the 2010's time, super nostalgic
LOL. "nostalgic"? It was basically yesterday. You must be young.
Yes nostalgia, search up the definition before you assume things. Lots have changed from 2010, i mean look at that computer she’s using, smh
@@fp5495 I’m 19 and I’m nostalgic for that time too. I’m even nostalgic for 5 years ago lol
@@lastinghappiness3977 because that was 25% of your lifetime ago lol
Yeahh All those 3D and motion sensing tech that worked 60% of the time.
The problem is that, there is no other photo to be displayed, hence next and previous buttons are disabled.
Yeah, I thought the buttons looked dim. :D
haha idiots
It never fails to amaze me how they have the old people promoting new technology like a lot of them have no clue how this works😭

Wow how convincing. I'm gonna run out and get one of those Dell laptops rn!
They are always short and chunky, with an exaggerated southern accent or squeaky voice
She's not so bad.
I’m just going to gesture at dell and hope one arrives at my house
@@please.665 SHORT AND CHUNKY 😹😹
@@erijennifer CHARMINGLY SO!
I have a touchscreen laptop. Either I use arrow keys or my finger is ready on the right scroll. I don’t want to be constantly waving at my laptop.
The laptop and broadcast is from the Windows 7 era. But yeah, even back then it would have been a dumb gimmick for the most part.
@Fak TH-cam 😒
I love you.
All she had to do was click into the active window. A click in the middle would have sufficed and then gesture would have worked.
thanks!
I’m not sure, it’s possible the gesture setting was set to volume control and not slideshow
"These are NOT the droids you're looking for."
Oh yes, that gap in modern times when companies tried so hard to innovate in useless stuff.
This, 3D Televisions at home...
Please send help.
It all started with the punctured mattress. I figured I'd check out this video but now I see I've joined y'all and now I can't get out of the QVC fail pit!
She actually handled the situation very well. I would cussed someone out lmao
This woman: “I’m gesturing”
Watto “no they won’t”
Keep gesturing, honey.
She did a great job of keeping it together, was not as awkward as a few others
Waving goodbye to any commission on that particular product.

That's a new dance move. Someone needs to put a beat behind this lol
She has only one picture on the computer.
She needs more pics to access the swipe.
I'm gesturing
2010 vibes, love the nostalgia
If I have to stand over the computer to gesture I might as well use the arrow keys lol
She was smooth tho lol “you get an opportunity to check out this new technology with the holiday deal” Damnn lol 😂
okay but when she shared her screen to the tv at the beginning that was pretty cool
Me who's just moving my hand to rub my eyes.
Computer: Thinks I want to gesture past 30 photos.
never heard penis called eyes before
She handled that super professionally!
I have no idea how I ended up with nonstop QVC fail videos.
Lady, only a person who is FORCE sensitive can do that. 😂
These years were so calm and relaxing what year was this 07? Wish everything today wasn’t so hectic and fancy..
The laptop's running Windows 8.1 so probably 2013/2014.
I will wave past this one,thank you.
This is such an accurate representation of what will actually happen with that device
Definitely can't claim false advertising on this one!
Even if it did work, I feel like it takes more effort and more room for technical error by waving instead of just pushing a button...
but she's so Adorable!
Oh yeah, that gesture is SO MUCH MORE CONVENIENT THAN CLICKING A BUTTON!
When the engineers include a feature that is totally pointless, just so they can brag about the added features.
TH-cam why did you send me down this QVC fail blackhole
In TH-cam algorithm we trust.
Let's all unite and reminisce about a time when this video was published
I was wondering why this was blowing up. It was a while ago.
Legend has it she's still gesturing and claiming it works.
Lordy, and I thought the Olympic luge fails was a deep rabbit hole…
Plot Twist:
There's only one photo.
Lets minimize the window and enlarge it. That'll solve everything
Yea.. hitting the slideshow button is way worse than looking like a schizo on the street
I think I’ve found a whole new genre😂
In my IT phone support voice: *did you try shutting it off and turning it back on?*
Meh... I personally started with the granny caller cussing on air and now I'm down the hole lol
Lol I thought it was going to gesture to an inappropriate pic.
There was a mattress. And NOW im here. 👍
The gesture is working, but i tjhink she only had one photos lol
Waving her arm like a magician lol 😂
I thought she was going to put "adult content" in the screen😄😄😄
I remember when something like that happened to a college professor in the middle of full class presentation...
What we missed was the Christian Bale style rant. Her yelling at how she is done with that lap top professionally
It just looked like they only had one stock picture. It should have worked with more of them. You can see the computer accepting the gesture.
Yooo. Is this the same guy from the folding ladder fall.. when he said u gotta lock it.. I forgot to lock it😂😂
Legend has it, she still waving at that screen today .
Because, when I give presentations, I love to focus on, and wave to my computer--turning my back on my audience. If you've got to stand in front of your computer to "gesture," why not just tap the right arrow button on the keyboard? Who thought that was a good idea?
well the problem is that she only has 1 picture in that folder, or the "go to next" button on screen would have been blue.
Like how long ago was this that she is excited about HDMI connections?
Was that the only picture in the folder by any chance?
Either she has no other photos to switch to or her hand gestures are too fast.
who else likes watching movies with other people and talks with their hands alot? Now who else wants to constantly be watching a new movie all night
Press alt and f4 at the same time
Sounds like an operator malfunction
😅🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂her behind is crazy lol
She only opened up 1 single photo. The previous and next buttons under the image are greyed out thats why she can't go to the next photo. There isn't any other photos lol
She only had 1 picture, that's why it didn't change...duh!
Her gesture dance has enough spunk to go viral
Dell owes that woman, for saving their semi shitty product.
The stance is hilarious
The screen sharing was enough…. Why trying to exceeed!!! 😂
The main point is --> send all of your hard-earned money to QVC to purchase cheap Chinese products that don't function properly (and will wind-up on the ocean floor in a month or two)
This is what happens when you commit your code just before the demo
Window's photo/gallery software sucks. For starters, you have to highlight all the photos, right click, then open to be able to scroll left and right.
Obviously, this same crew worked on the Rust movie set with Alec Baldwin.
To be fair this was made 10 years ago and gestures were advanced for 2014 considering iphone 5s had only just come out lol
Rrrighhhhhht….. sure it exist honey.
A sync problem between the computer and the big screen!?
She has no idea that that's not even close to the problem.
Through the years a lot of these gimmicks have come and gone.
I kept waiting for a dirty picture to show up on the computer when she was swiping
It’s a dell. Chances are it crashed.
She handled it well
All these features migrating into computer… migrating from where? Mechanics?
I need a subscription to these.
Sync problem🤔
I gestured and sent my studio monitors to 100 percent leading to hearing damage for life. Fuck this product.
The volume control works 😂
The mattress brought me here
I’ve purchased laptops from QVC in the past. Let’s just say, I’m not surprised. Their computers are JUNK!!!
another technology we don't need
I think it was working before but they left it on the last photo in the folder
