Why do you use your mouse with the right hand? I’m also left handed and use the mouse with my right hand, I think mostly because my parents bought a computer table with our first computer that had the spot for the mouse fixed on the right s

How this can make sense: They have a process for exchanging the cover glass, they don’t have a process for exchanging anything else, meaning you will always get a replacement device. $2400 is just the price for the device minus the profit m

I really don’t know what weird shit is going on there because all the indicators are looking great. Even in Europe the situation isn’t all that dire … even though notably Germany was much harder hit by the Ukraine war (cutting itself loose

That is such a weird perspective not at all relevant to this discussion. Obviously all the examples you named are not a good fit for radio buttons. Except maybe the last one where you can just add an “invalid vote“ radio button choice. But

Why would you not use radio buttons? And what pattern would you use instead? I don’t get it … Radio buttons are the correct metaphor for picking one option among a list of options. Why use something else? What use interface element do you t

Surveys are a valid use case for radio buttons that come unchecked by default. You do not want to influence people by presenting them with a default (already checked) choice. (You also typically want to randomize the order, at least when th

Ha! That‘s a surprise to me, I never noticed. So, checking out Apple‘s first party apps it seems that checkboxes are either solid color round circles (just the outline when unchecked) with a checkmark in the middle (for multi selections in

Supermarkets and furniture stores are pretty competitive … I have an example from Germany, though, for you: stores selling newspapers and magazines basically have no choice on what exactly to sell. The goal of this regulation is that no mat

I don’t think that means what you think it means. Taking care to remove liquid from the port just as well makes sense simply because you do not want to have water in there when you plug the phone in and water in ports just doesn’t dry as ea

Am I ever doing things because I can and not because I have to? Also, what mechanism determines what things I want to do because I can do them? And isn’t that mechanism then just not just another part of the machine. Just because it feels a

Seems weird to argue that you have to speak up if you don’t want something done to you or else you consent to everything. I do think that’s the case for some things but especially for new things that doesn’t seem like a common sense underst

It‘s redundant placement. You can also just use the url box to search the page. Seems like a good pragmatic approach to me. Could they also introduce some kind of page action menu? Maybe.

Finding out that people actually don’t comment is also journalism.

Precise time keeping, while having obvious advantages, has also been, especially during exactly this time, a tool for squeezing ever more work into day. So from that perspective not liking precise time keeping (and structuring the day not u

Such a fake passport is not the same as a complete fake identity. There is more to that than a passport and a lot of it you categorically cannot fake. A fake passport can trick some people some of the time but not all people all of the time

Felt effortless to me, too, but I would still call it a visa. As instructed on the website we didn’t print anything out, so we just brought our passports and immigration was completely without any problems in Miami. Our passports also weren

Time and flexibility is worth much, much more to me. I agree that employers should pay for adequate equipment (desk, chair, additional monitors, a great camera and headset, not just the laptop). A reasonable sum of money for mortage/re

Care to elaborate with an example? The point you are making seems quite abstract and incomprehensible to me.

I think you have a too narrow view of people’s interests. I would describe the overlap as “people into films that are with a relatively high likelihood interesting”. Given who is directing and who is involved with both of those films that’s

Knowing where to stack things is something humans are capable of rapidly learning. It’s not a big part of the workload of stacking shelves. The actual physical effort dominates the work.

Also, probably fairly considered the cost of doing business, but that includes a substantial fine Twitter had to pay. And Covid troubles. Just good to know for context. I’m really not sure where this narrative is coming from. It‘s always so

It does not tell me not to moralize. It just tells me to not take any other rules into account that might exist, i.e. to not construct a legalistic argument. But I don’t need to to allow ambulances. I think this is the core of what many eng

Does something violate the rule if it’s allowed based on common sense? I don’t think so.

This is such a weird ahistorical view. Overlapping and freely resizable windows is the Mac paradigm. In my estimation they don’t add snapping mostly due to pride. Maximized windows is an intruder. Something that was big on Windows but never
