You think it's a mandatorily-enabled setting, do you?

and yet every GPS for a car comes with a windshield-oriented mounting kit....

Sorry, but peripheral vision actually does exist.

No, your available options are actually NOT displayed in front of you. In GUI software there are deep hierarchical menus, keyboard commands, drag-and-drop, hybrid input-output widgets, additional actions for different mouse buttons and the mouse wheel... It's not some simple box full of buttons you can click, emulating an ancient computer operator panel. The GUI is neither simple nor intuitive: it just IS. Like the CLI.

You only work with trivial software if you have formulated that opinion from your software experience. Intuition is not even remotely a universally-shared notion. This is why there are manuals and why training exists.

It's not called guessing -- it is called LEARNING. Or did you just magically know COPY/MOVE/RENAME/MD/CD/C:/B:/whatever commands? Ridiculous.

Nice fantasy, but reality requires waiting for enough fascists to die and enough young people to be willing to revolt before any real change will occur in the US.

Light can bounce around corners and not require line-of-sight in a similar manner to how sound can do that. Sound doesn't pass all that well through most objects, you know.

China would have to work VERY hard to make me trust them less than I trust the USA, my friend.

Huawei should not be ignored. They're going to come onto the world market in a big way this year. For instance, I am truly looking forward to their new flagship coming later this year -- 1.5GHz, 1280x720 and 2500mAH without crazy Android customization that every big manufacturer seems to be in love with. Samsung may make nice displays but they focus more on a diaspora of handsets rather than making exceptional ones.
