  • When reversing into a space it can be easier to turn away from it first. So as you approach turn towards it and then just as the front of you car gets to it or just past it turn away from it so the back of you car is now pointing towards the space. Most cars following slow down because it takes them a second to realise what you are doing and it makes the angle you need to reverse it much smaller.

  • Not only makes it easier to leave when you need to, as you can see everything that you might hit or might hit you.

    But going backwards means you can more easily line up in the space as you have more control over your angle.

    Like parallel parking is essier when reversing as you dont need to correct once in the space. Just 45 degree to the kerb and straighten up and you are in. Going forward parallel parking takes loads of correction or needs a really big gap to fit in to.

  • I guess its like one of those digilocks

    where people always wrote the codes as "C1234" even though C is just a reset button that puts all the pins back into place so a code can be entered. It's easier to tell people its C1234 than saying it's 1234, but press C first.

  • Oh! I quite like that change. I guess it's similar to apple in that it's separatated notofocations from quick settings, but doesn't apple have a swipe up and swipe down? Or is it double pressing the home button? I haven't held an iPhone in many years now, so i can't remember. But how you access the two menus is different. I dont think an apple user who tried android for the first time would intuitively know how to access the two menus. So i wouldn't say samsung had copied apple. Rather, they have been influenced by the idea. Plus, i believe stock android has this as an option in versions 15 and 16

    That aside. You can go into your settings and swap back to the old notification shade.

  • That's pretty cool! i never had the S5. Looks like a good solution. It looks like it would work on a lot of phones today.

    Although, i think there are design changes to consider on newer phones with more powerful hardware. I believe they contain empty space that is there to aid with cooling the phone so the solid body of the S5 shown in the link might not work, meaning there would need to be a specific cut out space for the gasket to seal against.

    I appreciate that its probably not the most challenging problem to overcome, and i would very much appreciate companies spending more money on solving the issue. But i don't think its a "one size fits all" solution in a world of vastly differing design choices, folding phones and modular phones.

    Having said all that, i would much prefer for there to be less makes and models of phone and for the focus to be on designing something that won't be useless in 5 years. It should all be about longevity and reducing e waste.
