  • 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.

    I think it really depends on the store. In the UK I have to say that they’re generally pretty terrible, but the ones in M&S (a UK supermarket) are normally fine. Tesco’s has the worst ones, they are always complaining about something and there’s never enough cashiers to fix them. Plus of course occasionally they just decide to pick on you and rescan all your items.

    IKEA ones are floorless though

    The best is when you buy fruit all vegetables and it decides that the Apple that you are buying doesn’t weigh the right amount.

    One time I bought the largest potato you’ve ever seen in your life and it decided that it was too big and therefore could not possibly be a potato and must instead be some high value item I was stealing, although nonetheless scanning. But the problem is the alternative is to talk to people.
