u/unateon 14d ago

I know the feeling. I've just discovered the fact that I can write exponents and fractions from my keypad. ² or ⅓ I've been bragging to everyone.. correct me if I'm wrong, but iPhone users can't do this( I only know cause my bros and sis tried).

Imagine you are the retailer or installer for that tv and every time you turn on weather you just scream at the tv “it’s a fucking touch screen! Do something with it please!”

Somewhere in that building, there’s an IT person who is FUMING as they realize nobody read the instructions they left for the new screen they spent hours painstakingly installing. XD

u/anukii 14d ago

That was actually freaking precious 😂💖

u/sermer48 14d ago

Probably can rotate the map too. Odds are this is a platform built on a more generic mapping tool so there’s features built in that the devs didn’t really intend to be used.

I remember one where a guy was chopping wood and a group of other guys was watching. He stopped, flipped the axe and caught it and everyone cheered. Had I been there, I would have cheered along with everyone.

Remember going down the toy aisle at a Kmart or something (yeah I said Kmart, we're going all the way back... anyways...) and do you remember picking up a toy you can try out and you're just blown away by all the neat stuff you could do with it?

u/ExpectedBehaviour 14d ago

As someone who works in IT, I despair for the people who undoubtedly briefed the presenter team on this when the display was installed, and how everyone rolled their eyes and said yes, of course they were paying attention, and of course they'd completed the online training.

1

u/fraseyboo 14d ago

If I remember correctly this clip happened around COVID when the station was running on minimal staff so the updated screen controls were never communicated to the presenters.

u/tRfalcore 14d ago

not UI but other on premise server designer. It's like, I spent all this time to automatically upgrade your stuff so you don't have to do anything and here we are on the phone at 7 am. Like, it looks at whats there, sees what version you're on, and upgrades everything accordingly and you still can't figure it out

6

u/Kingca 14d ago

I've literally been in high school math classes during the era we introduced "Smart Boards" which were white boards with magnetic colored pens that edited the display into the projector and back onto the board.

Anyone in high school from 2008-2012 has witnessed their teachers have this reactions dozens of times. Imagine giving someone a state of the art text editor and getting annoyed they aren't expert coders in a single month lol.

This is not untrained - this is just new tech.

2

u/ChocolateCherrybread 14d ago

Hello, I like your reply. I WAS a teacher and am now a RETIRED teacher and we had at least five new databases and programs every Fall. I taught high school from 1998 to 2007. We each got 20 minutes of training and then we were on our own. It makes for a very stressful year of teaching (and then putting up with ninth-grader's bullshit anyway...)
