Every waking day of every waking use of the devices I have, I find myself constantly fighting a lot with the shitty input and recognition of said input. Things I swore I clicked once but having to click twice or sometimes three times. Such lag input between the last time I clicked and to the time the function of whatever I had to click fucking functioned.
With phones it is obviously worse, with finger input being either too sensitive or too dulled to register, inquiring more touches just to get somewhere or to type something, along with the separated frustrations aside trying to type on awful keyboard interfaces.
Edit:
For clarification’s sakes, people are bringing up old computers and how you’ve had to go extra steps to make it work. That’s not what I’m talking about and I thought I had made it clear as possible.
I’m talking about with the way things have been with technology over the past 15 years. You would think with all of the millions and billions that get invested into making things snazzy, crisp and shiny, that they would function similarly. Except, no, things got lots of wrenches thrown into their design phases to make them laggy, drag and otherwise shitty.
Phones, Tablets, Site Interfaces .etc
Reminds me of my Samsung phones. I got a new battery for my Galaxy S5 and one for my S22. One from around 2015, and the other released in 2022. You can take the back cover off the S5s and replace the battery in a few seconds. By 2022 they disabled serviceability to the point that removing and replacing the back cover alone took an hour to do, just so people will buy another rather than use a heat gun and learn about proper adhesive removal and reapplication. They just made it a monumental pain in the ass so they could sell more phones.
Yup, and you’ll see the idiots I droves coke to defend it, too - “but the water resistance!” As if they’re swimming with their phone or something. The S5 was fine for using in the rain and getting splashed.
When they removed SD cards from the more recent phones, the idiots were out there in droves telling me how nobody uses SD cards but me. Crazy what some people are willing to store on somebody else’s computer, and how much people are willing to over-pay for storage. Absolutely wild.
