I've yet to encounter any "smart" device or software I can tolerate, except possibly for SMART HDDs. Just provide sane defaults, manual workarounds and opt-in

Just provide sane defaults, manual workarounds and opt-in for any more dependencies and complexity.

- thrwaway69 7y agoLiar. You have a 'smart' phone, don't you? Personally, I think we are reaching levels where marketing has taught people to take additional steps to do the same thing while talking about efficiency and first hand user-experience so of course you know how to be intuitive after watching it work million times on different screens before actually getting it. Humans are pretty good at rationalising their behaviours and purchases therefore the effect is strong once you have captivated the person. It will spread in the herd because you don't want to be the only idiot in it.
