I actually want to try that just to see the looks on people's faces when I'm typing on two keyboards. It's the opposite of this: [VIDEO]

> Most non-technical business stakeholders don't really understand what we do. You don't see shows about awesome devs doing awesome shit, like you do for lawyers, doctors, business people, etc. All they know about us is that we're nerds who work like two hours a day and can't be bothered to go into the office. You do, but it's even more ridiculous nonsense fantasy than a typical doctor or a lawyer show (e.g. all the hacker girl scenes like [LINK] , [VIDEO] ).

This has nothing to do with hacking and everything to do with the ghost touch issues that apparently affect multiple Series 9 and Ultra 2 users (although I’ve not seen it on my series 9 myself). Way back in the early days of Android (pre Ice Cream Sandwich), I spoke to one co-worker who told me that when they looked at their Google Map app while driving it would show their actual physical car (and all the other surrounding vehicles etc.) on the satellite view - in motion - in real time. No manner of attempts by me to state why this was impossible would dissuade them and they went away thinking I was the technical idiot as a result. So “we are in control”? Yeah, no. This is what happens when folk think that shows like NCIS and their ilk are factual based docudramas. Obligatory link: [VIDEO]
