Not that I think much of the software industry, but "if you don't like the interface than that's your problem" is so laughably, fundamentally antithetical to everything we've ever learned about making software that I'm struggling to process this as anything but satire.

That's a level of self-awareness I think this person lacks because spending $700 on a scam gadget is an L no matter how you present it

Seems to work ok for Microsoft who has been enshittifying Windows since 7?

[-] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

Microsoft doesn’t really make software so much as they collect rents from their quasi-monopoly. A lot of software companies exist just to create solutions caused by Microsoft being aggressively shitty.

Is that what creating jobs means under capitalism?

[-] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Not exclusively, but literally yes.

If you got 'really good at the interface' and it still fucks up your input 10% of the time, then it is not a good interface. A good interface will only fuck up inputs that you are skilled at 1/10000 times or even less. Imagine if you will, a keyboard that enters in the wrong letter 1/10 times.

Fumes for 3 paragraphs straight

I don't need to get defensive

Also, this guy's going to find out what a "you problem" is when nobody buys whatever counterintuitive crap this is. Best case scenario, analogous tech will become popular and this fellow will cope saying they used it before anyone else.

Anyone remember the blinking clock on their VCR?

No?

This is why bad interface design vanishes into the forgotten past.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

I have my VCR's clock set!!

This is like something you could buy out of the scholastic catalogue for $5 wtf. Google glass had more marketing potential than this.

Nitter link - https://nitter.poast.org/raywongy/status/1778424557499544060

Nitter is dead but nitter.poast.org lives on (sorta). Why? I have no idea.

That link might say "Tweet not found". Reloading the page over and over might get the page to display.

What I love about Twitter is that comments can be perfect bits except they aren't. It's unironic.

The display doesn’t look readable at all.

well a video doesn't do it justice. it's perfectly readable when it's not under extremely bright light like direct sunlight

I looked up some reviews of this thing because I was curious what it actually is, and after reading them, I'm still not sure what this object does.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

It's the worst possible iteration of Siri/Google Assistant/Alexa, which is really saying a lot.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

Just watched a tech YouTuber video where this thing confidently miscounted the number of chicken nuggets in a box and provided the answer without qualification.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
