Mods please change my name to "Tooter Skeleton" TIA.


there's a (short?) Spanish or Italian (I think) I can't find the name of where a guy gets stuck in his car and various people try to help him with tools, calling mechanics etc. until eventually they put the car on a flatbed with him in it, this then drives off and eventually gets to a warehouse that's packed with cars full of desiccated corpses of people that also got stuck.

this is what your Tesla is gonna do in future. have a problem with the car? Doors stuck? no bad publicity thanks, it's off to the warehouse you go.

e; it was La Cabina from 1972 and it was a phone box not a car but still

right. you basically can’t open the doors due to the pressure difference until the car fills with water. the best thing to do is open all the windows, let the water in, and then swim out of the windows. this is terrifying to do even when you’re rational.

you can also attempt to push the windshield off with your legs (it's only held on by glue) if it's not submerged, but, again, it's not the first thing someone would think of, particularly in a panic situation

you don't actually need or want realistic graphics like msft flight sim, so even iphone levels of gpu are way beyond requirements. you just want to make terrain and obstacles and runways clearly visible, and to display same from a location and perspective that's a very close approximation to physical reality (so you need good GPS and gyros and so forth)
Yeah, not a pilot or anything but my dumb flatlander brain thinks that a simplified view would prevent someone from being overconfident that they're seeing a 1:1 representation of reality, ignoring some of the instrumentation as a result

we have to do this in presentations and user testing. if the designs are too close to reality then people assume it's a full working thing instead of a prototype. the feedback can be different and it can derail a test without proper priming.

heh that's why I liked doing paper prototypes for our internal tools, the audience understood they were to concentrate on the functionality and not the look

it depends on the audience, some people have difficulty translating what they see in paper/bare wireframe into what it's actually going to look like. this tends to scale with the complexity of what they're going to be looking at

I personally think it's funnier to imagine he just got mad and unfollowed/suspended her in a drug induced fervor, followed by quickly removing the suspension and begging her to date him again, as befits his divorced mannerisms
