Phone Updates Used to Be Annoying. The Latest iOS Is Awful

Sloane Crosley at WIRED:

My grandmother special-ordered her Toyota Camry with crank windows because she was convinced it was “one less thing that will break.”

Smart woman. Why did she do it?

I’m pretty sure the woman knew how to press a button. She didn’t special-order crank windows because it was one less learning curve for her, she ordered them because it was one less learning curve for the machine […] All she wanted was for the fucking windows to open.

This is me.

I’m don’t hate learning new technology. What I hate is learning new technology that’s prone to breaking.

I just want something that works. Predictably. Deterministically.
