It reminds me that we don't see "floating" touchscreens anymore.
The Galaxy S5, and probably other phones had this feature where you could actually trigger hover targets by hovering your finger above the screen. I just tried it on my Galaxy S5 the linked page and it works flawlessly.
It may be one of the gimmicks Samsung loved to put in their phones at the time, but as we can see, it is not completely useless. And it also doesn't look like there is any downside to it, except maybe a very small increase in price.
- ichydkrsrnae 5y agoonHover has always been a psuedoschizo decision. There are places where nothing is more useful, but misuse it and it aggravates the hell out of everyone, not unlike browser frames/iframes/etc 20 years ago.

- ichydkrsrnae 5y agoA conflicting decision. Please ignore the word, my brain made it up.

- Minor49er 5y agoOk, so how is something being misused "almost schizophrenic"?
- ichydkrsrnae 5y agoNot using fancy made-up words around you ever again.

- Talanes 5y agoYou don't need to freak out every time someone invents a new word construction. I understood the comment perfectly the first time, which brings us to 2/3 other commenters having grocked it immediately. Wait, grocked is a made up word too. Pretend I said understand.
- Minor49er 5y agoThere was a freakout? Also, it's "grokked", but I'll just pretend that you spelled it correctly instead.
