Wire harness making is basically a 100% human task now, this is one of the biggest things that would need to get automated but it's a PITA with huge variation and connectors with poor-fish documentation

Note:

Some devices expect USB-A on the charger side instead of C

USB-A pump out 1A5V(5W) regardless of what's connected to it, then it negotiate higher power if available.

USB C-C does not give any power if the receiving device is not able to negotiate it

The problem is that there isn't simply an efficient solution for everything. At one point every problem has solutions with pros and cons

France could do it as it is a rich and big country but smaller countries do not have a viable choice. This reasoning could have been applied to France too in another universe.

It's a balance impossible to totally tilt one way or another.

So no amount of extra information could help when it's matter of opinion at the end of the day

This behavior is economically inefficient, that's why it's criticized. And it's undeniable

But the point is that "economical efficiency" is not the only metric that matters, stability and power do not come cheap.

I'm in that group.

It's not "getting used to", I feel like that gesture is less practical. It involves or using the "circle" to assist on how to use the gesture (creating a black void on the screen that you need to plan your use of the phone around) or having the swipe that 1) is not as reliable in my opinion and 2) can be triggered accidentally

For me is like claiming that touch screens on cars are the future and people are too old to get used to it.

What about going "back" INSIDE an application?

Think for example reddit, you open a thread, how do you go back?

You open the "reply window, now ho you ho back? Maybe close it directly?

I Android this is all handled by the same function and is often ranked as the most frustrating design choice in IOS

I was referring to IOS, not MACOS

Androids do have universal back button at the bottom on the phone or the same swipe gesture if you want but iphones do not.

Sometimes swipe (the direction and position is a guessing game), sometimes and x (right or left ) and the behavior is inconsistent too (back or close)

There are some guidelines but more often than not seems like every app has it's own method and you need to get used to it

probably because it is classified as a "messaging app" and while it has a ton of features it still misses the "structure" of a discord alternative

i just wonder why TeamSpeak is not there
