Kind of the reverse of that, when I was doing my PhD a labmate had got some videos of his experiment and asked me, resident computer nerd, if I knew if he could embed them in the pdf version of his thesis (cutting edge stuff, back in the day). I didn't know, so typed "videos in LaTeX" into an early-2000s search engine.dextercioby said:

I saw a similar one after a demo to a customer. We were demonstrating a web page that had thumbnails on it. My manager was talking about its features, moused over them but never clicked on any of them (thankfully). Later, I had found that one piece of code just had a google search and another was a list of drilldowns for the thumbnails that someone had just entered xxx for each of them. We made sure to fix that before any more demos.Ibix said:
