I've noticed that they've taken the perfectly fine and usable volume controls which could be controlled with one button press and now hidden them behind a menu which requires two buttons presses in an unintuitive portion of the screen... But you know, progress and all that. I'm sure it makes sense to someone.
Me and Mrs Hearthly had a meeting at school today to discuss how Jnr's getting on and to discuss with the IOM's best autism expert how we can get her through the next two and a half years and hopefully get GCSEs in English and Maths at least. The teachers and the assistants are the most wonderful people, and the lady who's really deep into ASD is hard to get hold of for a meeting but we managed to get all five of us together for an hour to discuss the path forward - and we were very grateful to be able to attend this meeting.
So what do you do in such a scenario? Make sure your phone isn't going to start piping up about anything when you don't want it to.
And yeah, all of a sudden you get a load of new sliders and icons and choices where before a single action made your phone shut the fuck up. And yes I know the answer will be 'Ahhh but you can still do that exact same thing but in a slightly different way! Stupid tech heathen!'
I do sometimes wonder if the folks who foist this stuff on us via mandatory updates have any earthly idea how fucking annoying it is.
