    haptic doom

    The human finger can discriminate between surfaces patterned with ridges as small as 13 nanometers in amplitude and non-patterned surfaces, surface chemistry Professor Mark Rutland said. “This means that, if your finger was the size of the Earth, you could feel the difference between houses [and] cars,” Rutland said.

    I love the ads that have that X’s and O’s background so you mistake a random X inside the ad for the “close” button and accidentally give them a clickthrough.

      I wonder how effective these tactics are. Like, what percentage more clickthroughs do they achieve with this deception?

    you need to go to the opened apps menu and do the close gesture, it closes the ad too.

    What exactly do you mean by “ads”? Is this a joke I’m too adguardhomed to understand?

    Is there a law saying there has to be an ad close button? Because I assume they are all fake.

    Also the sun does move. But it’s got so much mojo that everyone else just moves along with it.

    Not so real, there isn’t a black cross to close the ad, it’s normally a white cross of this size on a clear background, nearby the red download button.

    An example of a non ad one is the Google AI popup on Google Discovery articles. The button is a proper size but it ignores you hitting it unless you hit a very specific point which I am certain is not the center.

    The close button is never gonna give it up, never gonna tell the ad to say goodbye, never gonna turn around, and help you…
