  • Personally I would not recommend an iPhone to an elderly person. They are not going to use 99% of the features anyway so what’s the point in buying an expensive phone when you can get them a cheap Samsung for 150 bucks.

    The justification used to be that IOS was a friendlier interface but I think a combination of Android getting better and iOS getting worse means that that’s no longer the case. Hell their new design apparently makes everything transparent and hard to see.


  • Physical buttons for brightness is a bad idea. People will just press them by accident and then complain that the screen changes brightness all the time. Laptops get away with it because they already have a bajillion buttons, and anyway in most cases the screen brightness buttons are actually multifunctional anyway so it doesn’t add to the button count.
















  • The big problem is that half the time the answer that you get is that you shouldn’t be in the situation you’re in so the question doesn’t apply.

    Well yeah, but here’s the thing, if I ask the question it’s because I am in the situation I’m in, and therefore need assistance. So telling me that the situation I’m in is not optimal is literally the least helpful thing one could do.
