- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 3 days ago:
I’ve recently gotten a hold of an older ipad. I’ve been installing apps and stuff on it and playing with all the things.
And godDAMN that os has problems. I’m back on my android phone and it’s so much smaller, but Jesus Christ having a back button and responsive apps and ui and os feels like coming home.
Android isn’t without its problems though. The apps are all definitely aimed at a poorer/cheaper demographic, the audio drivers suck big fat rectum, and the hamburger-scrolly-floating-button design philosophy is straight up garbage.
But there are so many missing QOL and presumably standard features on Android. On iOS, I get so lost in the loose ux standards that often end up bewildering me. I used procreate for like 8 hours today, and by the end, I had memorized a ton of really really bad designs. They work, and within the app, they’re… Mostly consistent. But I have this deep down rage for whoever made some of these decisions.
It’s entertaining, at the bare minimum, to see UX and UI slowly develop over the years, and neither OS (or Samsung’s OneUI) are perfect. It’s fascinating to see what the other camp is doing.
But yeah… Kids crying over having their ipad taken away? Shame.
Get them something better.
Like a desktop computer.

That’s fucking hilarious out of context.
But that being said, BMWs have the worst blinkers control I’ve ever seen in a car. They tried to innovate on it with software and it’s just bad. Seriously. For anybody who doesn’t know what it’s like, go to a BMW dealership and test drive a car or something. Somehow, they took the stick control and made it worse.
So, that there’s a tutorial video, is depressing and funny, but also unfortunately needed.

Shaking does not affect this the way you think it does. You’ll be fine as long as you wait like 10-60 seconds after shaking vigorously. The liquid and gas pressure inside will reach equilibrium, and no matter how much shaking you do, it won’t degas further.
Also, keep in mind that it’s mostly temperature and surface area that causes soda to degas (fall out of solution).
Fun fact: this is why paper straws are inferior to paper straws for soda, because paper is insanely more porous than plastic, and causes rapid degassing of the soda inside of the straw, rather than in your mouth, throat, and stomach. (There are other reasons, too, but this one is often not considered by most people)

Mmmmm… Is it politics, or ethics?
Can you be okay having ethics discussions in technology? If not, maybe the problem is less other people, and more you, not having any sort of spine.
I, too wish everything wasn’t horrible, but think of it this way: technology is the stuff, made by the people, who make decisions and ideas. And so, it’s important to know what the people are doing. Especially so for those of us without the privilege of benefit of being able to ignore politics.
I’m saying you’re a privileged manipulator trying to quiet those trying to improve things, and I think that you should fix that, rather than complaining that people are talking about it in a passive aggressive, manipulate way.

VV is a last step, for when the system has evolved into an unmovable corner.
Like when you play tic tac toe and all moves are done, you have to just restart. Eventually, you have to do something different to get a different outcome. Unfortunately if you fuck up your memory (bad history and bad education), you’re doomed to fail until you get it right or die.
