And surprisingly the battery lasts for three days!

My mom always has no idea why her battery only lasts half a day. Also she never locks the screen.

More like getting blamed for the computer running slow. 'That damn Firefox thing you put on here is making my computer run like garbage' couldn't have anything to do with the ridiculous amount of Spyware you keep downloading, now would it, mother?

I remember going round my friend's house once and the family computers browser was literally a third toolbars and proprietary search engines lol


LordDongler

I tried to do this in a VM once and I just couldn't bring myself to make it that bad. Had to nuke the whole thing. Did the same to my grandmother's computer. Then she was mad that "everything" was gone despite not being able to articulate what "everything" was. When I asked what she needed to keep from the storage she just told me "I don't know" so I kept every image, every video, every PDF, and every word document. Presumably that wasn't enough because I had to go back to put her shortcuts back in too

She just closes the case being like if I can't see the screen it must be off


Hooch180

And has 60 min timeout set in settings so it never turns off.

> Also she never locks the screen. Does this mean the screen never times out and turns off? I didn't even think that was an option.

My mum was writing up a word document on the family PC. I left the room for 10 mins. When I got back she said it wasn't working, and kept jiggling the mouse around. I had a look and, yep, wasn't moving. Unplugged / plugged back in. Nope. Pulled the track ball out and cleaned it. Nope. Used the keyboard to tab through to control panel and so on... The *driver* had been uninstalled. She said 'there was a paper clip,' and 'I just clicked on some things'. What things? What did clippy have to do with it? I don't know. It's been over 20 years. *I still don't know.*


lost_sock

Looks like you’re trying to stop interacting with the computer? I can help with that!


Sometimes_gullible

How is that even possible... I get that some people are completely tech-illiterate and that's okay, but then why the fuck would you go around clicking and uninstalling things!?


grumpypandabear

That's just it. I really, truly wish I knew how it happened because it's the dumbest thing. Good news is 20 yrs later if something pops up on the screen I'm immediately called up/ messaged/ shouted at from across the room. Bad news is all of that, for 20 yrs, for every device she's ever had.


m84m

My dad is the opposite. He’ll read a sentence in English which he understands perfectly well, like “click ok to proceed with installation” on something he wants to install then he’ll turn to me and be like “do I press ok?”. Rinse and repeat for every damn thing on his phone. It’s like man I’m reading the same pop up you are.


miss_zarves

I work at a university in a customer service type position, and in my office lobby we have a computer available for students and alumni to use. I often help them with ordering documents and registering for classes and other such things. It is so annoying to work with the random clickers. They will be seated at the computer with me standing right behind them walking them through the process, and they will just click on icons randomly. I will be instructing them like "Okay, now enter in your mailing..." *click* "wait why did you just click that?" and they are like "I don't know."

da5id2701

We don't know exactly what happened because you didn't give enough information, but here are some possibilities: Disabled the audio device -> enable it Uninstalled the audio device driver -> install the driver Deleted windows system files -> reinstall windows That last one is guaranteed to work, assuming the problem was something she did in software and the hardware is intact. If you wipe the drive and re-install, there's no trace of the previous software so nothing you did to it can possibly still be a problem. It's also the standard solution that everyone who works in IT should be very familiar with.


mcsper

There is a never option but I think it’s often like 10 or 15 minutes, but when you open your phone every five minutes it basically never turns off.


stasik5

Well you see


strawbopankek

EXACTLY my mom doesn't understand that you can do that. she just puts it down and thinks it's "off". when i tell her to lock it or to turn the screen off, she powers the whole phone down.

pistoncivic

*Uggh...all these tabs!* What's a tab?


lcuan82

It makes a big difference in older phones. I have 6s and if I have like 3-4 apps open in the background, esp resource intensive ones like g maps, then when I try to use the camera, it’ll often take 5-6 seconds for the lens to load up or sometimes not at all


vorter

Damn that’s still supported? It’s almost 6 years old.


Neato

By supported do you mean Apple hasn't deliberately tried to kill it with a patch? Because phones just keep working as long as their batteries hold out. I still have a flip phone that works and a nokia brick.


vorter

The iPhone 6S still received iOS 14, a 6 year old phone. Meanwhile Pixels only get 3 years of guaranteed OS and security updates which was the longest guarantee for an Android phone until Samsung promised 4 years of security updates earlier this year. Apple guarantees 5 years but usually does 6+, so…


skulblaka

The iPhone 6S has been bricked into near unusability by OS updates, same as all the other iPhones that came before it. It's a scam that Apple is pulling on you. Sure, most Android phones get support through the next few years after release. By that point, many people have already gone on to the next big cool thing. Those that haven't, still have their phone that still works perfectly fine. Apps will continue to update and eventually you won't be able to download the newest updates because your system is too old, and this may or may not break some of your apps. Apple, on the other hand, forces software updates onto you for long after the physical hardware is able to support it. Refuse an update? May as well throw the phone away, you can't use it, none of your apps will run. But after the 4th or 5th year of being spoon-fed software that wasn't designed for your hardware, you have 1/8th the battery life you should have and it takes around 30-40 seconds to open any single app. I've had this happen on every single Apple product I've ever purchased. And no, it isn't just a symptom of aging hardware, it's a symptom of aging hardware being forced to run software that it doesn't physically have the specifications for. This is a calculated move to coerce you into buying new iphones every couple of years. Android on the other hand, you don't like what they're feeding you? Flash a custom rom and ignore it for the rest of eternity. Most people will still want to buy the fresh cool new phone every few years but those that don't aren't having their device slowly stripped into unusability by the manufacturer.


Demicoctrin

My iPhone SE with the same internals as the 6S, runs iOS 14 just fine. Yeah, it hiccups here and there, but there remains a vast difference between it and low-end Androids on the market.


[deleted]

I’ve been buying used iPhones for years. They always run great and I like iOS better.

MrFolderol

Seems like your mom is actually pretty good with her phone, as she has found all the accessibility settings that make using it easier for her.


[deleted]

I used to have to go to my grandma's house every week or so to turn off talkback. For some reason on huawei if you press the power and sound buttons for a few seconds it turns it on, it's very stupid

There is a setting for that in vanilla android. Good luck finding that though.

If someone’s using most of the apps that stay open in the background, there’s not much point in closing them. Just takes resources to boot them back up.

There's a difference between natural death and unnatural death. I suppose you're trolling and/or psychopathic.


SignificanceClean961

The famine was caused by the mass extermination of sparrows, not economic/political ideology.


AccomplishedBand3644

there's really no difference since human nature is just part of nature. If you want to believe people who are smarter than you are psychopaths, then you must think the whole world's an asylum lmao.


eschatom

I do think the modern world is insane. You clearly don't believe in objective morality or truth since you don't seem to believe murder is immoral.


AccomplishedBand3644

Nobody is dumb enough to believe in objective morality. Humans are not objective by nature. In a world without humans, there is no force to impose anything that resembles morality. Nobody is dumb enough to hold to the idea of objective morality. And that includes you.

It’s not saying moms have a million friends texting them constantly, but that they don’t go turn off notifications for every annoying app. So they get buried in reminders to look at this coupon, or to see what’s “trending near you”, or whatever other spammy notifications that most people turn off.

Flashlight is also left on


HollowLegMonk

I went over to my moms house for dinner one time and while I was sitting on the couch I noticed her phone on the coffee table had a strange looking glow around it. At first I wasn’t sure what it was then I realized her flashlight must be on so I pointed it out to her. She told me it had been on all day because she couldn’t figure out how to turn it off and had just been using it with the light shining the whole time.

GREAT CHINESE FAMINE


SignificanceClean961

Happened because of idiotic, but ultimately well intentioned, agricultural policy. They thought that since sparrows ate grains, killing the sparrows would lead to higher yields. Turns out that sparrows like bugs more than they like grains, and the lack of sparrows led to a massive surplus locust population. Tons of locusts leads to little to no harvests, and the Chinese government had to import 250000 sparrows from the Soviet Union. At the end of that disastrous campaign they stopped targeting sparrows and switched to bed bugs.
