material design is hilarious because it's bad but mostly because everyone's adopting it just in time for google to get bored and do a new design system with blackjack and hookers

qirex posted:it's literally impossible to have all your software have a truly identical design unless you 1. start from a single technology stack and don't change it for several years and 2. are willing to do massive [like 30-40% more front end work] amounts of remediation it feels like UI is a subgroup of marketing these days, especially if it's from a company that only produces one app. meeting the branding guidelines is more important that producing something intuitive

infernal machines posted:huh. so goog is just paying for the absolute bottom tier manufacturing and assembly then previously they had others like LG and HTC design and build the phones. if it’s made by Foxconn it probably means google did the design, and they’re in charge of building them. so of course they didn’t know how to test them properly on the line and didn’t catch these failures.

since a chrome update, typing a keyword for searching requires you to click the "use this search engine" popup in the address bar, requiring you to take your hand off the keyboard thereby defeating one of the main benefits of having a custom keyword search in the first place. thank you google.

got this in my email today: https://blog.fitbit.com/2021-update/ quote:I’m writing today to let you know that Fitbit is now officially part of Google. It’s an incredibly exciting moment for us as a company and for our Fitbit community of users around the globe. love 2 have an advertising company know my fitness level how long do you think it'll take for fitbit to be shut down? my guess is 5 years.

Now, I had to get a fitbit because my pebble (2nd gen, actually, since the 1st gen was unusable) started getting lcd streaks and I figured that since fitbit acquired pebble then I might as well be a good consumer schmuck and switch up now I am going to have the worst of both worlds because e-paper lcd watches are just going to f'ckin disappear and I'll have to just get an apple watch or something that will have to be charged twice a day at least the included pulse oximeter can help detect covid19 complications

Get a Samsung Gear and tell us how many ads show up per day when you try to read the time or even worse, how many feedback requests you get when you try to read the time I hate whenever I open an app and the first thing I see is a feedback request. I'm opening this stupid app to do something, what makes you think I want to send feedback right now? I open the starbucks app to pay for coffee, because the barista is waiting. I open the dunkin donuts app to pay for donuts because the cashier is waiting. I open the yelp app because I'm hungry right now. App developers need to find a better time to bother someone for feedback. not like this is an android only problem though

I can mostly deal with Android's weird things but the only thing that drives me up the wall is the occasional requirement to unlock with the passphrase instead of my fingerprint I always unlock my phone at home at least once per day with a passphrase and I still get accosted with this poo poo I'm going to try rebooting the stupid phone once per week and see if that fixes it I'm actually tempted to go look at the source code to figure out what drives this cursed logic

sb hermit posted:the occasional requirement to unlock with the passphrase instead of my fingerprint 1) I had an old galaxy s5 that would do this increasingly often as it was dying, it would crash without actually rebooting to the SAMSUNG logo 2) apple devices do this too, turns out that even if you don’t power them off they’ll occasionally reboot userspace to keep everything clean
