Don't know what's going on with the first one, but the second is usually for special needs kids that must be supervised at all times or something. it makes sense.

the best part is that it's labeled as a bathroom. the most incomplete bathroom ever built.

I'm guessing it's a daycare so there's just a few adults looking after a whole lot of kids, some of whom are toilet training and still need assistance.

How about these new Polycom spider thingies? I appreciate the additional functionality compared to the old dumb ones, but the touchscreen diaplad is the worst thing ever. Not only is it not super responsive, it's just lovely to use compared to physical buttons in general when you have to dial a phone number manually or, you know, punch in the 10-digit conference passcode while looking at the meeting request.

Touch pads on everything is the single worst design choice ever made from a use point of view. The vast majority of companies use really cheap screens with godawful tracking and the interface on the screens is often cluttered, buttons too small and too close together which makes it even harder for the crap quality touchscreen to register a press. We have some reasonably nice Cisco kit which isn't bad but the cheaper stuff is just depressingly annoying to use.

Really, the old Polycons with all the buttons on one leg were just about a perfect a design as I could think of, I can't see any reason to wedge a touchscreen in there unless it's to look "cool".

I suppose this could work without a touchscreen tool, but the upside is supposed to be that you can search and call Lync/Exchange contacts, which is pretty nice. Although on this one it's either disabled or just not functional. And I just had to reboot it to get into the directory at all, otherwise it wouldn't react to button presses at all.Yolomon Wayne posted:First glance i thought this was an Iphone slot in a polycom adapter to conveniently conference over yoiur mobile...

We have some reasonably nice Cisco kit which isn't bad but the cheaper stuff is just depressingly annoying to use. I loving hate the touch pads half our "new" machines at work use. Using them wearing heavy gloves or even just latex is drat near impossible and if you get any residue on the screen, good luck having it work at all. Also we've found that some of the screens will react to things like flies walking over them. Which is just loving swell. But what's worse is this poo poo:   I use devices at work which will change the pad format from one screen to another and it drives me insane. Pick a goddamn standard and stick to it

It's justifiable if the device has both a calculator and phone number entry because flipping either of those would be bad. I'm having a hard time thinking of a type of device that would need both though.

I just pulled two sets of numpads off google. Serves me right for being lazy. What I mean is, numerical input pads which switch from having a 1, 2, 3 top row to ones with a 7, 8, 9 top row. On the same machine, on the same touch screen. Just different menus. This means everyone has to constantly recheck their inputs and double think everything because if we enter wrong values expensive things will happen. Bad expensive things.

WIth regards to bad touchscreen design... The navigation system in my car (model from 2013) has a sensor that detects when your hands are getting close to the screen so it can show some buttons that are otherwise hidden so you can see more of the map. Unfortunately, this moves some other buttons around that are always visible, so if you are not paying too much attention (because you are driving), you may actually hit the wrong button since it was moved. No idea who came up with that poo poo.

My vehicle, while including a touchscreen for a bunch of stuff aside from GPS, also has ordinary analogue inputs for climate control and that sort of stuff. Having to play computer games just to access basic functionalities would drive me utterly insane.

I like to think the space labeled as "bathroom" is being peed on by the kid in the green jacket while the girl on the floor looks at him in disgust. Also, it's set up pretty well. The autists can poop, take a step, draw a poop picture on the empty space, and then move on to the toilet paper roll. The Gilbreaths would be pleased with whoever designed this lovely, safe poo space.

automatic climate control in cars look i get it. a bunch of lights and buttons are fancier than the old school knobs n levers and the illusion of automation makes people think its a good thing but it just obfuscates the basic features on yr car with electronics for no reason when you are uncomfortable you turn the setting down. it doesnt matter if temperature is an absolute measurement of cabin temperature or a vague dot of color next to the knob - functionally they are indistinguishable to the driver. most of the time you just leave it on the same setting anyways. why add a screen with navigation buttons and modes taht turn each other off. makes it harder to turn off your a/c compressor or switch to defog or to recirculate and just blow regular unheated uncooled air when those are things that you want to be able to accomplish with urgency if u need to and if the electronics on the lil screen fry then well gently caress you, right (dont buy a saab)

oh a Bad Saab Thing this is the headlight switch for the 1st gen saab 9-3. Looks p simple with some weird middle option right? car has daytime running lights that always stay on. nothing happens when you turn the knob. if it is in the off position you can't turn your high beams on. the top 2 options are basically just 'on' except if its in the top one you can trigger a parking lamp for a few minutes by holding the high beam switch down (to walk to your door i guess?) why that poo poo doesnt just happen without prompt and there isnt a switch there in the first place is beyond me. they included a switch that only has a function when daytime running lights are off, which you have to pull a fuse to disable

Computers in general and popping poo poo up/moving it to/from underneath your fingers or cursor and then assuming what you actually hit is what you meant to hit. I don't have instantaneous reactions, nor does any other human. If I click on a particular point on the screen where a button happens to be, and that button wasn't there 0.1 seconds ago, hey guess what? That button probably isn't what I actually intended to click on (I haven't even had time to register that it's there yet). Especially if the application that caused it to appear didn't even own that region of the screen until 0.1 seconds ago. Now let me tell you how I feel about applications stealing the focus,
