Shockingly, I didn't need any article to have that proven to me. I could've told anyone back in the Windows 8.0 days that you spend a lot more time just navigating around modern UIs than you do performing useful functions.

Somehow that article made its way onto our yammer site .
I DID tell them years ago and argued myself blue in the face that it was a crappy design. Earlier this year they got in a UX design team to give us a more "modern" look and feel. Guess what they designed.

My windows 10 looks like windows 95.
Start icon in the corner.
The 'programs' in the box when I click on it. And a 'Run'
My open windows do not consolidate.
There are no open boxes to the left or right and for that matter very few icons on the screen. (Excluding games although those are just so I know what I have already played.)
I have come to appreciate the most recently used app, so I leave it there although I could turn that off.

I think the web-design expert should have helped them out with the gaudy eye-sore of a cover design.
Maybe just poke there their eyes out and call it a day.

It's an example of how not to design the magazine cover for the next edition of Migraine Monthly.

imho, a garish, mind-numbing, design, but, do remember that mass-market print magazines often use zap-pow-bang covers to try to capture eyeballs.

Don't worry, just take your time, go find a nice quiet room in that big house of yours.

Contest is the antonym of protest!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Any suggestions on what mac device to buy so can debug a web page running on iPads.
iPhones less worried - if working on iPad will just assume width/height worst problems.
all dev work windows with chrome. with iPad being a last test consideration (at the moment).
but if page not working, iPad cannot remote debug to windows (currently, maybe some mythical future changes this).
Dont want to blow 1k on laptop, if the Mac-minis would be enough. Any comments on using a Mac-Mini for debugging iOS safari?
also I guess the OS upgrades a consideration. I know the iPads and MacPros get updates for some time, but do the Mini's, or are people "encouraged" to upgrade to get the latest os?
Maybe a second hand would be enough. Not interested in massive dev work. More like, connect it, open safari remote debugger. check line that is the issue. go back to Windows dev machine. fix it. retest.
though visual studio code runs on Mac - maybe I just move to a mac, and use the free Microsoft IE vms they provide to test IE.

For apple products, the following list is surprisingly appropriate:
- OFF! spray
- Mosquito netting (you did say Safari)
- Fly swatter
- Citronella candle
- Kettle of boiling water
Just amazingly appropriate ...
