Bloody Hedgehog posted:Any part of a computer is basically a wizard box to my parents, particularly my dad. I spent ages yesterday setting up their new cable boxes yesterday when I was over, they finally were forced to upgrade from their ancient SD equipment. They were then completely baffled by the slightly more complex remotes that were provided. Took about an hour to finally get them to a baseline level. Well he's right. Voice control is garbage for that very reason People want the anthropomorphized computer to be an active participant and fill in the blanks of vague rambling directives like in Star Trek, if voice control is to be used at all. But voice controls are always designed as though people are issuing specific and syntactically correct commands at all times "Hey Siri, what's traffic like up ahead?"

RareAcumen posted:Wait are you supposed to call it internet service instead of wifi this whole time? Well, I guess saying that the wifi isn't working because the internet went out does make sense actually... I'd equate that with saying "the lights aren't working (because there's a power outage)", or "the Internet isn't working (because my cellular/smart phone lost cellular connection, or because their Internet connection has an issue, often a power outage)", or "my car isn't working (because there's a traffic jam, haha)". The company a home contracts with is typically an Internet Service Provider, which for many is often a cable television provider. If there's an "Internet outage", friends are usually on their phones asking if it's just them or a provider-independent Internet outage.

I know I'm dead inside because I don't really enjoy the ace Attorney games despite their obvious oozing with charm, but I got like 9 Nier automata endings.

They should wait for the official report from the Department of Icons to come out. For all they know, that character they're appropriating might have been scheduled to become a fishing icon, and they'd be depriving those poor workmen on the herring trawlers of a vital role model.

Well, I guess saying that the wifi isn't working because the internet went out does make sense actually... Wifi works perfectly fine without an internet connection. SMDH at all these kids without multiple local network servers that continue providing access to terabytes of data without a connection to the ISP. Of course, the important stuff is wired.
