<p>On Android, WhatsApp lets you start a group voice chat with an upward swipe from the bottom of a group chat.<p>I keep triggering it by accident while trying to get back to the latest messages in active groups. I am not talking about a weird edge case. It happens during a very normal interaction in a busy chat.<p>What bothers me is that this is a high consequence action attached to a very common gesture. In a one to one chat that would already be annoying. In a group, it feels worse because there is an immediate social cost to getting it wrong.<p>I am curious how people here think about this kind of design choice.<p>Is this just a tradeoff where the product team optimized for speed and discoverability over safety? Or is this simply bad interaction design?<p>More broadly, why do large chat apps keep binding disruptive actions to gestures that are close to ordinary navigation?</p>

<p>I believe that as soon as nuclear fusion becomes operational (and perhaps AI could be of great help in this regard in the next 5 years),<p>all the carbon storage methods (efficient and otherwise) studied so far could be immediately put into action.<p>In addition to the immediate reduction in the use of fossil fuels for energy production, the scenario could be completely changed in 10 years, water could be desalinated, desertification reversed, etc.<p>Free and unlimited energy would be the solution to everything. The question is whether we will get there before it's too late... and perhaps AI is the answer?</p>

<p>usefulness is bound to scope/purpose, 
even if innovation stops, in 3y (thanks to hw and tuning progress ) when 4o costs 0.1$/M and 4.5 1$/M even being a small improvement ( which is not imo ), you will chose to use 4.5 , exactly like no one now want to use 3.5</p>

<p>maybe If there was a function to disable android running in the background from the tv ( which is the default), the menus and other primary functions would run better, maybe it's possible.. but do really I have to hack the tv ? how many will do that ?<p>and as I've said, I'm not even confident in performing a firmware reset at this point given that I would probably get only the version released with the tv without any successive update ( anyway not a solution for everyone )</p>

<p>even disconnected from the network, however I have to buy an external device to bypass some functions ( which is a non optimal workaround ),<p>however the bugs are not solved, however the TV remains very slow and I do not even have the courage to do a reset of the TV sw because I do not know if I could reinstall the sw to a recent version (or it would remain with the first factory beta because the updates are deprecated anyway), it is a 7 year old 65" Sony Bravia for example (led, 4k, i'm good with video/audio I don't want to change it but i'm almost forced to.. ) , the menus are very slow, some recording and playback functions of content from the line crash (since the latest updates) and I often have to restart it.... all for a non-replaceable integrated soc of $50</p>

<p>talking about E-Waste , why modern tv doesn't have external device for the soc ? why I have to bypass the slow tv using a firestick , but the tv anyway become obsolete,<p>but the tv anyway becomes obsolete, and lacking security updates also potentially a danger for my home network and for the internet in general? in addition to losing some essential functions that only the soc integrated in the tv system can provide?
would it have been enough to move the computational part containing the cpu, the memory and the sw on an external hw so as to be able to swap it (proprietary or not, but at least upgradable!)</p>
