Curious Nonsense

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Also don't isolate yourself or your partner if they're the one who gave birth. These conditions are confusing and their causes are still unclear in a lot of ways, but it's pretty much universally agreed now that isolation and not anything that isn't related to your baby are huge factors in postpartum mental health conditions and significantly increase your chance of serious complications. Hire a babysitter or drop your baby off with family/friends, then go out. Spend time with friends, have a date night, go to the pool, take a pottery class, sit in a cafe with a book and your favorite drink, just do anything that reminds you that you are a full person who exists outside of your baby and that your baby will be fine if they aren't attached to you 24/7.

I've been thinking about this scene in Artificial Condition where MB meets ART for the first time. ART threatens MB to make sure MB doesn't attempt to hurt it.

Then Murderbot shows it what punishment from a governor module feels like.

ART can't feel pain. It can't understand human physical pain any more than it can understand human media. Murderbot has to help it translate these things into data.

This is ART's first experience of pain. It goes silent for three whole minutes and then it immediately apologizes to MB.
