The startup is laser focused
No, lasers aren't focused
A laser beam is still just light, and no beam of light exists that doesn't diverge. Just because it's all one wavelength doesn't mean it isn't still composed of photons acting like photons.
When last I checked, all optical drives -- from CD to Blu-Ray, and even old M-O and floptical formats -- have movable lenses, and actually DO focus their lasers onto the media, since the beam has to be tight enough to fit within the width of one track[*] at the point where it lands (or at least, tight enough that noise from adjacent tracks isn't significant).
No two discs are perfectly identical in thickness or flatness, and no two will sit on the spindle at precisely the same Z position, so the drive has to be able to actively compensate for variations in the distance between the reflective layer and the read sensor. You can only do that by explicitly focusing the beam such that its reflection hits the sensor with the intensity range the electronics expect.
Sure, your cat will still happily chase that elusive little red dot whether it's a few millimeters bigger than it theoretically ought to be or not, but on the other hand, that missile you intend to shoot down is just gonna brush you off, and your kickass 100 mile line of sight connection isn't gonna work too well, if half your beam misses its target due to divergence.
[*] or whatever you want to call the adjacent turns of the spiral of bits on CDs and their kin.
Maybe because in the case of computers, even the dumbest user wouldn't mistake that setting/switch for something involving an internal combustion engine, let alone something that compresses air into one.
Besides, many computers have at least one centrifugal fan in them... that's kinda-sorta like an electric turbocharger, if you squint at it just right, and in many cases they spool-up as system load increases.
"SPEND THE ENTIRE COMMERCIAL SCOURING IT FOR ANY SIGNS"
You jest, but there was one glitch: at about 23 seconds in, the boy is walking away from the camera, close-up of his feet. His socks look weird, something's over-enhanced the texture of the fabric and added a sort of outline or border. Makes them look like they have an "edge detect" filter applied over them.
Really, as commercials go, I've seen WAY worse, long before text-to-video AI was a thing (at least, the visuals -- I didn't let the audio play).
That said, Geoffrey (the giraffe) looks weird in that commercial, compared to what I remember growing up. Guess they've changed his look over the years.
All the evidence concerning the universe has not yet been collected, so there's still hope.
