Oh, come on. It's pretty obvious that "eco 小" with the three dots means eco flush. It's also one of the larger buttons. Which means that the four and nine dots mean larger flushes. Which means that "流す" means flush. There you go, problem solved. Just take a note of 流 on a piece of paper, if you're not good at remembering symbols.
- scrollaway 10y agoOh, oh, and let me guess: A home FTP account with curlftpfs and cvs is just as good as Dropbox. Please stop blaming the user for UX issues.
- Freak_NL 10y agoThe user is expected to be able to read basic Japanese. You are of course welcome to use the product without that prerequisite; just experiment. If you are a lady not much can go wrong; for us blokes… well you might get your ball-sack rinsed, but that, while surprising and slightly awkward, is fairly harmless on the whole. What's the fun in being a tourist if you understood everything around you.
- yincrash 10y agoNot everyone attempts to flush while sitting down on the toilet.
- sgrove 10y agoI believe most models will refuse to turn on any washlet function if there's no pressure on the entire seat (not sure exactly what the predicate is, but something along those lines). Certainly my model[0] in SF is that way. [0] - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007HIKPQC https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007HIKPQC
- Vinkekatten 10y agoI'm inclined to agree. Convincing someone to use a space-age toilet for the first time without giving them instructions is hilarious.
- etatoby 10y agoWhat are you talking about? The user is always to blame, when the functionality is there in the first place. UX is just a fancy term to invent new jobs, or to sell more products to dumb people.
- bonaldi 10y agoThe Design of Everday Things is a fantastic read that disagrees almost entirely with you on that.
- alanh 10y agoThis is the dumbest coherent thought I have ever read. Edit Look, I don’t know you, but if I presume you are a smart young hacker… your own attitude toward technology as something that can and will be understood, conquered, and mastered will serve you well, but you must also come to realize that your own creations will never matter unless they work for an entirely different audience. And no, you don’t have to be dumb for a poorly designed interface to confuse and disorient you.
