Everyone is sending me that video of Bad Apple! played on the Windows task manager on a Threadripper 3990X, but I'm 99% sure it's fake and I ain't retweeting it, sorry. You do Bad Apple!, you do it for real, no cheating. (Insert fake Chinese goods joke here.)

Evidence: all the CPU usage percentages are 100% 77% 39% 0%, yet the pixel values vary more smoothly. It's possible (certain, really) the video was sped up and temporally blended, but this is the case even during steady frames (like this one). So it's clearly edited.pic.twitter.com/6JzBYMoZeR

No, really, it's fake. It's even more obvious on this frame, and also read the replies. There is more evidence.https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1275697641679192064?s=19 …

Hector Martin @marcan42Whoever faked that Bad Apple!! task manager video didn't even do a good job. There are a bunch of glitches, including this totally static segment halfway through that was supposed to be about one second of pure white, but ended up with bands including 5 shades of "77%". Faaaaake. pic.twitter.com/zvD5RjopKTShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Video compression and recording with a freaking camera does not make all the CPU usage percentages magically end up at 4 different values, yet somehow there are more shades of blue, even when then image isn't changing at all.

Read the linked tweet. Go to the middle of the video when that happens (halfway through the song, before the Prismriver Sisters). There is a whole second of static frame with the mismatched colors.

Also read the replies to that tweet, where I point out that the GHz text on the top left doesn't move as it should, and that he never actually runs the Python script that is supposed to start it all.

Even if somehow none of that mattered, it is impossible to program a CPU load app that makes task manager always have exactly 4 CPU load values, without ever varying. You always have some 1-2% noise due to the OS.
Loading seems to be taking a while.
