The LIES That Make Your Tech ACTUALLY Work

I miss the same letters over and over all day.

Please make a part 2, talking about more things we overlooked like the like buttons on Instagram, facetime etc❤

I don't know what to call this effect that's on so many of the visuals in this video, with the red and blue, but it really causes my eyes discomfort for some reason I can't explain.

Why do you call computers cold?? They are not cold. They just are. Stop anthropomorphizing inanimate objects. Computers literally save millions of people every day. Produce food, provide safety, enable us to fly, travel thousands of kms, feed billions of people, help us advance. They way they are USED is a different topic. If they are used as killing machines, that's a human trip. I've never ever seen a machine drop bombs on a city by itself. Never. It's always brainwashed human beings who push the button first. That's abuse and misuse of technology.

The keyboard thing is interesting, but I’d be interested in trying the keyboard without it to see how it feels. There are definitely times when I keep typing a letter wrong in a word even though I KNOW I am hitting the right character. After messing up the same letter a few times, I take a second to be VERY precise with that one letter. I’m curious if the more general typing would be worse enough to justify not fixing those somewhat corner cases. If nothing else I now feel validated for the times I’ve ran into that issue when I have to retype a word 3 times because the same letter keeps being wrong

They didn't use fitt's law to design gesture back they copied iOS

dude your chromatic aberration filter shit is unbearable, not watching. why would you do this to something you want people to look at

very cool

As a monkey brained human, I like tactile things and I was very sad when apple removed the home button because now there’s no more clicky click :( also I accidentally exit out of apps all the time and it’s very annoying.

M h

I always knew there was something up with my phone and how it would never let me talk about my van. id be super careful and boom "can" until I deleted it to try again.

Y'all heard of typing by actually sliding ?

i thought i was a mad conspiracy theorist when i told other people that my phone's keyboard acted weird but i knew i was right

I used to build physical interfaces for products. Feedback is one of the most important things, of you program something without visual or sound feedback, it feels not just broken, but it is annoying. They call one of the more basic annoyances the "hard touch". People refuse to give up and add more and more force to change the state of what they are seeing and think they can control.
Another funny thing was to test and implement some add on or additional features and seem people just ignore it or worse, on being asked about it specifically or asked to test, saying it is useless.

skeleton loaders actually makes the loading feel longer than it actually is. That's because it's tricking my brain into thinking I can do something when I can't. The frustration is annoying

I use Spotify hundreds of hours a week for years and yet this video taught me more on how to use it than I ever discovered on my own!!

This was a very well made video.

What I got out of the video:
all modern consumer-facing technology operates on deception and surveillance of the user.

Smashed it out of the park with another banger video once again

Im not a creative designer, but I am a very detail-oriented software engineer and I've had times where I see edge cases of interaction that higher ups just don't care about and it often bugs me.

wow

This was helpful, thank you. Inertial scrolling needs to be a preference, though. My eyes don't do well with it.

I always find it funny when people act as if VR or AR is going to make the smartphone obsolete. The smartphone is the same form factor as the Blackberry, Palm Pilot, electronic calculators, notepads, slates, and even clay tablets. People have been holding a small rectangle in one hand and doing stuff on it with the other to augment our memory and calculating power since the dawn of history and maybe even before that, it is not a form factor that is going to go away for anything short of direct neural interface. And even with direct neural interface, we will likely still see the overlay as a small rectangle that would fit in one hand and imagine moving our fingers to manipulate it, because our brains are wired best for that sort of interaction.

What a high quality video from a channel with only 100k subs. Definitely earned a sub

I love the study of hci sooo much. I hope to go to graduate school for it

I really want to absorb this, but the accompanying music is driving me spare. Am I alone? Had to depart.

Huh, this might explain, why i often write "tgis" instead of "this" without noticing.

One of the things I've noticed about virtual displays, this also applies to sci-fi depictions of holographic/volumetric displays is how I subconsciously perceive the projection to have a sharp edge. That glowing 2D window border resembles a razor blade floating in space. Part of the UI design for the future is going to need to include an aesthetic tweaking, so that it has a friendlier feel to it. Something that invites you touch it, instead of something that might lacerate your hand if you get too close to it.

I’ve always assumed it worked this way. I was taught how typewriters were designed and I saw how I simple that was and I noticed typing on my phone would sometimes make mistakes in ways that didn’t make sense and I put 2 and 2 together and it clicked

Way back in the day when I was using Mac OS 7, I had a system extension that would alter the mouse cursor so that it pointed in the direction that you were moving it. It was really cool, but also quite distracting. I would find myself sometimes just flying the cursor around on the screen like it was a video game. I ultimately had to removed it, as I was more productive not having it behave like that.

Am i the only one who noticed these when i was 13?

No intentional mistakes! That's why I have so much problems on making intentional spelling alterations. Finally I got the reasoning behind it

no wonder samsung keyboards suck so hard

I have never ever ever swiped on my screen instead of using a back button. I didn't know that was an option.

One thing I really hated, and it hasn't been as bad lately I think but maybe it's just because of the systems I'm using, is when I was selecting text from a document and if I selected from the middle of a word it would automatically select the entire word. I'm very intentional about where I start and end a selection. If I want to preserve the last 'es.', for example, because I need it and don't want to retype it, then it's really annoying if the selection automatically grabs that and I have to go back and reselect to specify that I don't want it.

Loading screens have always been there. Back in 93 I had own own "please wait", one moment and loading progress bars. They were ASCII. I think Dr Solomon AV was one of the first to have the spinning dash in ASCII mode while scanning files for viruses. I think that was back in 1992.

I'm almost 100% positive this is the reason I actually hate smart phone keyboards.

'Great". So, such minor things accumulated not only slowly eating computing power, they also forcing you to guess what developers intended to bring you as your user experience, so you could keep it always in mind to make your device do what you want, not what it is expected from you to do by developers. And then people are surprised: why computing powers grows 10x times, but devices still do the same things, live on battery same time, and software is bloated 10x times with the same functions.

I suspect we went back to something quite similar to apple crazy keyboard concept with tOndO. Also, we clashed with so many concepts in this video, as with all that button UX edge cases. Terrific video, and terrific channel 🤘

This video is cool but the effect you put on some of the stuff where the red and blue are separated from the image hurts my eyes some.

I always didn't like skeleton loaders because they are so obviously false and lying to me plus yeah they take longer.

I'd be happier with a little animation tbh

Ok who gave keyboards aim assist

It's like aim assist for your thumbs. PC typers will not be happy when they find out about this.

Aaand the first point is already wrong. If that were true then my phone wouldn't consistently be making the error of registering QU as P and PR as Q

excellent video
