buttplug.io 🍑🔌I really cannot stress enough how much of an unexpected marketing gift the term "vibe coding" has been for us.
Petrus Hilarius@buttplugio When Apple had the iMac in all those rainbow colors there was an "iBrator" spoof that sadly I cannot find anymore on the modern web. It was advertising USB-controlled vibrators in 5 tasty colors that could be daisy chained. I guess this was 1999? Anyone still have a reference to that? #apple #ibrator #usb #1999

I remember that spoof.
The Register may have written about it.
This is what I could find, from 2005:

One sentence from a 2000 article leads to a link:

I FOUND IT!
"Fully Y2K compatible!
You can safely ignore all of the horror stories of your vibrators suddenly shutting off on January 1st, 2000. With the iBrator you can usher in the new millennium with multiple, quivering orgasms"
"Now, with the power of USB you can connect up to 127 different iBrators for a sweaty, gang-banging marathon!
Plus, the iBrator draws power directly from your USB port - no more recharging!"
