Alternatively, Salesforce could invest in a user experience that isn’t a confusing PoS that requires 9000 customer service agents to help people get through it. Just say’n.

Rudolph is mad because this house used projectors and inflatables, instead of string lights… which’s are far superior Christmas decorations.

This is because the government redesigned the bird robots during the pandemic.

What devices have you tried it with?

I’ve been very happy with Samsung’s implementation paired with Apple and Microsoft devices.

That said, I haven’t see how things play out with other TV brand and input devices from Sony, Roku, etc. I only know that my setup has been pretty damn bulletproof.

My point about CEC is that it doesn’t matter what silly crap they install on the TV. You won’t see the unremovable apps and ads if CEC will bypass that junk entirely.

A good CEC setup will kind of feel like your TV is a dumb monitor and there is a KVM that switches all the auto and video when you pick up a game controller or streaming box remote.

I never see my TV’s software and I never touch my TV’s remote.

When you get a new TV, make sure it supports CEC so you can bypass all this bullshit.

CEC allows your input devices to change inputs, control power, control volume, etc.

My current setup is a Samsung QLED, Xbox, and Apple TV. All support CEC and I never touch the Samsung remote and have no idea what’s in the Samsung menus anymore.

If I turn on the streaming box, the tv turns on, the input changes, and all I see is the streaming box UI. Same for the game console. CEC is fucking incredible and an underrated thing that doesn’t get the flowers it deserves. It just works.

Edit: imagine your TV is dumb monitor with a KVM. That’s what CEC feels like when it’s setup correctly.

Yeah, but that project isn’t really getting the attention it deserves. Part of me wants to contribute, but I’m totally swamped with a million side things.

I really reeeally want to like GIMP, but I’ve never been able to get past the UI / learning curve. There are a number or patterns and interaction models that are significantly different than those adopted by the rest of the creative industry.

I’m surprised that, after 25 years, none of the projects to redo the UX have really stuck and gained significant momentum.

Designers are famously broke. Especially graphic designers. A raster graphics tool, with a half way decent UI, would easily gain traction.

I wonder if it’s because the project just doesn’t have UX designers contributing to design and users testing. A lot of the UX feels like a random idea that someone had. Not something that was actually tested with real humans.

Once you create a monetization team that puts ads in shit, they’re going to want to keep putting more ads in stuff. They’re all judged on how much better they do year over year.

Apple should’ve never created a team that sold ads on their platforms.

IMHO, Apple just jumped onto a dumb dribbble trend that has been happening for a few years. Remove toolbars and put stuff in a small floating pane.

Seeing it in iOS will encourage more people to do this, but it’s not a trend Apple started. Their design team doesn’t have very many good original thoughts these days.

Ahh yes. The “put everything in a little pill” design trend.

Got a screenshot?

I still see the UI I’ve seen for months on web and mobile native.

A slashdot post? Is it Y2K?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Lemmy’s daily active user numbers are not big enough to be a worthwhile astroturfing target.

The real reason people shit on AI here is because it’s a platform with a bias toward people who are fairly tech savvy and or work in a technology field. Which is why every 3rd technology post here is a Linux circle jerk.

A lot of users here understand the technologies and are working in spaces where they’re being asking to “implement AI” by idiots who don’t understand the tech and aren’t trying to solve a user problem.

And of course, the video was preempted by an AI slop ad of a talking monkey wearing a neck brace.

!videos@lemmy.world is a good one for stuff like this. That community loves their work.

Agreed, but I do think that some jobs are just going to be gone.

For example, low level CS agents. I worked for a company that replaced that first line of CS defense with a bot, and the end-of-call customer satisfaction scores went up.

I can think of a few other things in my company that had a similar outcome. If the role is gone, and the customers and employees are being served even better than when they had that support role, that role ain’t coming back.

Cool pic.

This could look rad with a square crop. That would allow you to center the stairs and clip that electrical pipe.
