    I participated in a driving simulation a while back. It was a real vehicle that had full motion, but was on hydraulic struts instead of wheels.

    They were testing how phone usage affected people.

    It’s texting that’s the problem. I murdered a few jaywalkers only while interacting with creating words. Not when on speaker phone and not when just looking at the phone.

    Touchscreens aren’t really that bad when designed well.







  • Win95 was trash for a while. ME was always trash. OSX wasn’t great on release. Every Linux distro has had its time in the darkness.

    I think 11 is going through some significant structural changes at a faster pace than before, while at the same time the natural greed of capitalism forced MS to get rid of things like large QA teams and support.

    If MS were really interested they would begin open sourcing a lot of the things that don’t make them any money (calculator, clock, notepad, UI) and focus on the major items.


  • Outlook classic is one of the better examples of a legacy app with tons of integration capabilities that should have been overhauled years ago. The way plugins work is probably related to your issues.

    The modern Outlook app is significantly more reliable but has its own quirks that are pretty painful when coming from classic.
