It blows my mind that in many cases I can't use my voice to enter text in fucking 2025.
I'm pissed that it worked better in 2019 vs 2025. (At least for Google's voice recognition)

Eh, beats finding yourself in that complete breakdown of a process where you're having to recite your email address character by character to a person who somehow is both
a) judging YOU and
b) unsure the part after the @ can actually be something besides gmail.com.

On an Alphabet order keyboard
I did this to my boss once. I noticed he was using one of those ghastly low-throw 'boards that show up with all the cheap entry level Dells and Amazon refurbished pieces of shit, and unlike on a real keyboard the profile is the same on all of the keys on those, regardless of which row they're on.
So I rearranged all of his letters into alphabetical order. For good measure, I created a custom keyboard "language" layout that actually make it type that way, too. He put up with it for nearly an entire day before giving up and asking me for a different keyboard.
Actually...
I just had a poke around in the supply room. I still have it:

I'm even more pissed that my old Motorola flip phone could dial by voice on the device, but my current pocket supercomputer running the latest Android can't do it without recording my audio and sending it to a server somewhere to be processed in the "cloud," and doesn't even work if I'm standing somewhere with spotty data service.

That calendar and the fan selector are cruel and hilarious.
Them as are amused by the fan directed cursor may also enjoy Bubble Ghost, which came out on several retro platforms including the Game Boy.

TV remotes are worse often, they add a bit of delay, worse buttons, and a 50% chance of any given input not being registered
At least in a gamepad the directional buttons are consistent.

I like that Roku gives the microphone button. I keep forgetting to use it but it's a lot more convenient than typing.

I have a STB where text input is solely via the D-pad plus color buttons for Shift/Num/Backspace/Confirm. Pretty normal except the number pad has the telephone-style alphabet printed, which I would very much prefer.

Real keyboards can also have the same profile on keys my man. You have KAM, XDA and DSA.

Lmao, I got to hall 28, it's a bit ASMR when the volume is down low, except for the buzzer at the end sometimes. I like having to figure out how the ghost might get it.

Honestly, I kind of want the old assistant back. I don't find Gemini any more useful for my use cases. It feels dumber sometimes.

Don't forget the endless TFA challenges, which will either never arrive, will arrive after the code is expired, or the code just won't work.

They're new credentials every time and the passwords are 32char randomized strings that include equal amounts of lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and special characters.

That's the upper level. On the lower level you use a remote control, and there's tons of input lag.

AND ghost clicks. And just enough time of input lag to make you click again, just to see the key being pressed twice, and now you have to go to the backspace button
