i am totally going to come across as a boomer in this post but as an engineer it’s common sense to not build systems with a single point of failure. and i’m starting to realize that our usage of the smart phone is exactly that. a single point of failure. the calling/texting is the implied function of the smartphone, which is fine. that’s what it’s built for. but nowadays we don’t think to keep a physical map or atlas or gps unit in our car because our phone has google maps. we don’t keep address books anymore because it’s all stored in our contacts. i serve customers who no longer carry a wallet/physical card because it’s all on their phone. this is literally a single point of failure. if you lose or break your phone when you are in a foreign place you are fucking screwed. maybe you’re still screwed even in your home town because so many people have become accustomed to using a smart phone to take them anywhere.

Another big problem I have with Google Maps? Google Maps assumes you’re following it blindly and not reading the directions.

I have written the directions to a place, from Google Maps, for driving in areas where I knew I wouldn’t have reliable cellular service, and then gotten lost because the names of the roads Google Maps uses aren’t the same names on the street signs. My friend and I drove an extra two miles on a dirt road because we were following the instructions for a hike site on Google Maps and the turn had a completely different name and signage than Google Maps gave.

So not only is Google Maps becoming one of the major ways people navigate, it’s primed for failure if you’re using it WITHOUT GPS enabled or lose GPS on your route.

My phone turned into a brick for a couple days earlier this year and I couldn’t even make an appointment with the Apple Store to get my phone fixed because they wouldn’t let me book an appointment without confirming the appointment on my phone. Which was broken.

in the United Kingdom, people eat a street food known as the ‘tesco meal deal’, often made up of a sandwich, a side, and a beverage. it is renowned for being a cheap and easy option for many. however the more adventurous palette can opt for the ‘greggs sausage roll’ for a truly local flavour…

It’s really annoying when writers make a lesbian character and don’t realise it and give her a romantic plot with a man
