CW: Patience, progress bars
For work reasons I'm upgrading a laptop from Windows 10 to 11, and it's tortuous … I've been waiting on a ticker that increments 1% each quarter hour.
To pass the time I thought of re-reading "Chapter Six: Patience" of Jessica Helfand's DESIGN | THE INVENTION OF DESIRE and its discussion of the Sturgeon-ish Wadsworth Constant … "the first 30% of any video will be skipped."
