all voice assistants are hot garbage ux. they're like a CLI but it takes 5 seconds to spit out "syntax error" and there are no man pages and at least a cli will do nothing if you give it a bad command, but with voice sometimes you hear "idk how to do that" and sometimes it just does the wrong thing

more bad ux: pressing the windows key and typing to search has lag before it starts accepting input so if you don't wait a tick before typing, it's gonna miss the first letter and then when you hit enter, instead of opening vs code, it's gonna open a web search for odell beckham jr

idk if anyone here is familar with apple's two factor auth system, but if you log into like icloud on an unknown pc, it pops up a map on your phone telling you where the login request was made and you can accept to get a 6 digit code to punch in on the icloud website. the field for the 6 digit code is actually 6 1-character text boxes and the cursor advances after each digit input, goes back with backspace, and accepts upon entry of the last digit. it's all actually pretty nice

well, paypal has ripped it off, except their 6 digit entry field has some kind of delay between when the cursor enters the next box and when it starts accepting input, so if you are good at typing numbers, you have to sit and wait a beat between each digit or it's gonna miss some of them

not sure if this is bad ux or if i'm the problem here, but regular-clicking twitter links on this forum opens them in the same tab but also wipes the back button history which is a real pain when i forget to right click->new tab them

e: nvm it looks like they open in new tabs by default now, i've been afraid to even try for a while
