I get pussed about this every morning on the toilet On Tue, Apr 21, 2020, 11:38 AM Nate Burke <n...@blastcomm.com<mailto:n...@blastcomm.com>> wrote: <Curmudgeon mode> It seems like I've noticed an uptick recently of slow loading dynamic content. Like the web page will load, then like a second later, everything rearranges on the page as more items decide to pop up. I don't remember it being this bad before. I've had to use the FedEx site recently, it's really bad about this. The Youtube app on my phone now had Ad's that are bigger than half the screen, so it will push a playing video 1/2 off the top of the screen so it can show the entire ad below it while the video is playing. I've been trying to explain over the phone to an older relative how to use an Amazon FireTV box I've given her so she can watch her church services. She has never used a computer, and barely used a VCR. She does not inherently know what Icons on the remote mean (play/pause, etc). Her fingers to not operate independent of her Eyes, so she has to look at her fingers as they are doing something (why she's never been able to figure out how to use a mouse, gets cursor lined up, looks at hand to push mouse button, cursor moves, click does nothing). She watches TV by typing in the channel number. So the instructions need to be like 'Push the button with a house, then Push the bottom of the big circle down 2 times, then push the middle of the big circle' But this never works, as Amazon/youtube will always re-order the icons, and Since she's not looking at the screen, she doesn't see the 'selected' icon is changing as she is pushing buttons. (any tips on helpful explanations for this would be appreciated) My FireTV at home has also been pulling re-arranging the Icons after it's started up. Just the amount of time for you to select the app you want, and as you're clicking, they all re-arrange and you've opened the wrong thing. I think bottom line is I'm starting to get to old for all these new-fangled Technogizmos. I can't imagine it getting better, only worse from here on, as every content developer under the sun want's to have their own interface for their content. </Curmudgeon Mode> -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com<mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ Total Control Panel Login<https://asp.reflexion.net/login?domain=litewire.net> To: ja...@litewire.net<https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=242260993&domain=litewire.net> From: af-boun...@af.afmug.com<mailto:af-boun...@af.afmug.com> You received this message because the domain afmug.com is on your allow list.
