If they have their keyboard set to a different language but type in English anyway, then it learns English words exactly how they're spelled. Which means they probably spelled Window with capital W at some point and then it got autocorrected to that exact spelling.

24

Sometimes your keyboard also remembers when exactly you use certain words - like in the beginning of sentences, which most keyboards will capitalize by default.

I hate the whole "its" being converted to "it's" no matter what thing, but what I hate more is when I teach the keyboard a word, and it STILL won't let me use it. Taught my keyboard "that'd" and it would autocorrect it to "that's" every time. And unlike other words, if I went back and manually corrected it back, it wouldn't leave it, it'd force it back to "that's" again and refuse to let me change it. Come to think of it, it did that with "it'd" to "it's" too. Eventually I just switched to a different keyboard with much less aggressive autocorrect, since I still need the autocorrect to type with any semblance of speed due to minor coordination issues.

My old keyboard abruptly started autocorrecting more typos into what I was saying than it corrected toward the end anyway. Probably some shoddy attempt to implement AI auto correction.

I'm pretty sure I turned that off ~8-10 years ago and Google has just remembered it ever since

Also I use swipe typing so that probably helps too

Google's keyboard is the absolute worst for that, tried using it for a bit but I'm back to SwiftKey which isn't absolutely insane (and which has more customization options too)

I still miss Swype too, and hopefully one of the open source keyboard apps will get good enough to replace all of them soon enough

That, or if they're like me, the person is just very tired. If I am extremely tired, I basically just hit shift on every word and don't care about it. In such cases, I might fix my posts and comments in the morning, or even delete them if they feel too much like "what the fuck did I write there".
Another key to identify those is double words.
Example: I Only Started Started Using Computers When When I Was 14.

I type on a mobile keyboard. Have for over a decade. I’ve never typed like this.

I was wondering why my mind automatically tried to read this as poetry

It might come from languages like German where nouns are capitalized. Even in English proper nouns are capitalized so I don't see why that bothers you so much

randintreply

I don't think the All, Refuse, See, No, and Never in that screenshot are nouns. They also didn't capitalize microwave.

13

Fair enough. They might just use autocorrect wrong, idk

Personally I typically type like that (and like this) due to typing like I speak

Stilted with many gaps

Sometimes with a lot of parentheses due to the scatter shot nature of my brain

But that's a conversation for another time

because Some words are more, important than Others.

Honestly, I have no idea.

Nope! I know a guy who's last name is super close to spaceman, so I always call him Space Man. Tracey is hilarious!

I know. One family, two operating systems. But we can handle it.

I have a dishwasher with a window and can confirm the existence of the mole man.

It barely shakes compared to the washing machine. I'm not buying. I believe little elves scrub the dishes clean.

Now the interesting part of the question. Most of us are probably pretty against the idea of slavery, but if you managed to pull back the curtain and found out it really was poor little enslaved elves in your dishwasher scrubbing all your dishes for you, would you say anything, and go back to scrubbing your dishes yourself and also try and find housing and a support network and medical and psychological services for the now freed elves? Or would you maybe just try to forget what you saw and keep putting your dishes in the magic cleaning box?

I just spent a ridiculous number of hours replacing our dishwasher. This is a task that shouldn't really take more than an hour or two, but there were complications caused by the previous owner of the house...plus I made the mistake of trying to fix our old dishwasher first.

If there are elves in that thing, I'd like to slap 'em around for putting me through that headache.

2

I'm pretty sure the dishes that go in and the dishes that come out are not the same dishes!

3
lemmy.world

That's because the dishwater looks disgusting and your dishwasher uses the same dishwater for 20 minutes.

It does a pre-wash cycle to remove the really heavy stuff, but yeah I don't really want to look at it churning vomit water for an hour.

I was in a band called Churning Vomit Water for a while. Best polka ensemble of zero counties!

To be fair, if you do your dishes by hand, the water in the sink also turns into some disgusting sludge after just a few plates.

There are plenty of dishwashers with windows. Unlike the others devices mentioned, you don't need to see what's in there. The window is just for fun. They make you pay for fun.

sh.itjust.works

You don't need to see what's going on in a washing machine either, yet the fun window is usually included. Maybe washing machines were invented before paid dlcs. Or a see through water splash machine looks bad in a kitchen.

I think I remember reading somewhere, that people simply didn’t trust the washing machines and therefore didn’t use them. Adding a window made it possible to see what’s going on and build trust in the machines

27

It is also nice to see if one of the spinners is blocked. Saved me quite a few batches.

Work at a dishwasher factory. We used to make a model with windows, they were really expensive parts, which meant that they were really expensive dishwashers for a feature that really isn't useful.

It makes sense in a microwave or oven because you can check in and make sure it's all good, or pull it out if it's done. You can't do that with a dishwasher, it just runs it's course.

Plus all you could see in the thing was splashing soap water.

Where else are the house elves supposed to live in modern homes? We don’t have servants’ quarters and the closet is packed floor-to-ceiling with vintage porn.

Also, it wouldn't really look nice - a typical stainless steel dishwasher looks clean - a microwave and oven (hopefully) look clean and tidy through the window. But a windowed dishwasher? Half full of dirty dishes for most of the day, and even when the dishes are clean they won't look neater than a plain stainless steel finish (or whatever finish you prefer)

19

I saw this post and was all "yeah, where the hell is the dish window!" But then reading your comment, all these points are pretty obvious and make total sense ahah.

lemmy.ml

This has me thinking, could I have a cheaper microwave with no window? I mean i guess the window has saved me a few times because of stuff getting over-nuked but I never even considered the idea of not having one.

3

One has to keep radio frequencies from leaking the other has to keep water from leaking. One of the two are much harder to do.

1

Just curious, what's the reason for these parts to be expensive? Is it that they have to be properly sealed (unlike an oven)?

How has no one mentioned the randomly capitalized words, space before commas, and just general shittyness of grammar? I find it hard to believe someone would write like that without consciously making it as bad as possible just so people would comment on it. And I'm in just as much disbelief that no one has said anything about it.

42

I spent a good while trying to figure out what the joke was behind the capital words lol

13

Maybe that just have fat fingers and keep hitting the shift key. Or they just have shitty autocomplete.

5

It's to hide the exploitation of the little gnomes that are enslaved in there. It's like most people enjoy a good steak, but nobody wants to see how it's produced. If you see the latter you're likely to become a vegan. Do you want to scrub your dishes by hand?

My first inclination was blender is critical to see progress as you set the time, ovens can see how brown cookies are but the dishwasher is a fixed cycle and who care... but then I thought about my washer and dryer both having windows for no reason what so ever.

In all honesty it probably looks pretty gross all those food bits and dirty water being slushed around

Mine has a window and a light, but the light won't turn on until the dishes are done so you can effectively see nothing in there. The conspiracy continues!

17
lemmy.wtf

This may not work, but have you tried shining an external light through the (mechanical) dishwasher window, while the process in going on? Potentially while turning down lights in the room.

Just don't forget to read the dishwasher its rights first

They don't want you to see the tiny people doing all the hard work licking.

You don’t have to buy one with a window.

Hell I saw fridges with Android screens and I’m like hell naw. I did get a smart one so I can get notifications if the kid leaves the door open and so I can track power consumption over time without sticking a kill-a-watt in a really tough spot. But the Android systems they put in fridges feel obsolete on the showroom floor. Absolutely embarrassing, and probably completely useless after about 4 or 5 years when Android stops supporting the SoC and when you stop getting root certificate updates and start getting SSL errors on every page and app.

Mine has a window actually. Its a smaller countertop dishwasher tho so maybe that has something to do with it.

People load heavy metal pots into a dishwasher and bang them around.

A window would not survive unless they use some expensive overbuilt impact resistant glass.

I barely touch the inside of the dishwasher door at all. It gets blocked by the bottom tray that rolls out.

I also rarely touch it, but have dropped a greasy pot on it a nonzero amount of times.
