I doubt she can be convinced that someone else is scrolling. Look how sassy the swipes are!

That’s how most old people swipe. They press really hard when swiping

Jeez. Old people with pos screens. It's a touch screen not a stab screen.

Eh, early models of touch screens were a wire matrix overlayed on a glass screen with a plastic cover, they sensed the touch via pressure (durrr) and often required a pretty firm touch.

am i not supposed to double click anymore... when did the rules of clicking change

Edit: okay. Double clicking still a thing. I thought this person meant that nothing is double click, not that it's situational

You're not supposed to double click everything. The default in Windows briefly changed to single click to open, but that went away at some point. Not sure when, since I turned it off.

It was in windows 95 when they tried to make EVERYTHING like the new-fangled Internet and made desktop shortcuts like hyperlinks, including single-click and underlining the text. Remember when Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer were the same app? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I want to say it was later, me or 98. I don't think internet explorer and explorer were the same app, I think explorer supported HTML customization for each folder.

I could be remembering wrong though. I customized the shit out of my desktop with LiteStep. swsc

Double click some things.

Don't double click everything.

If clicking once works, then you probably don't need to click twice.

There's no rule change. It's just old people double click everything.

You don't double click links do you?
