      Fascinated by UIs that accidentally amass memories. One of them is the wi-fi “preferred networks” pane – unexpected reminders of business trips, vacations, accidental detours, once frequented and now closed cafés.pic.twitter.com/r137dZI0r8

      Another? The alarm page and its history of painful negotiations with early mornings. (One of these, I’m sure, was for a lunar eclipse; another for sending a friend in Europe a “good luck” text.)pic.twitter.com/AxI1oF5Jji

      I like that both of these places require you to coax your memory a bit to remember. What else like this is out there?

      Yesterday I accidentally struck a keyboard shortcut that set my typing language to Thai. This is on an old laptop. My thai friend borrowed it in spring 2013.

      Took me a while to figure out how to reset it. Turns out, you can google in english even if the keystrokes are represented as thai characters in the search bar!

      Amazing. There is a whole little cottage industry of practices and UIs adapting to people typing in a wrong mode:https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/723534260963942400 …

          Found another. During college, I had a http://Lynda.com  subscription to learn software in-depth. Today, my company gave us access to LinkedIn Learning (which is Lynda in disguise). Two Lynda courses I did not complete in 2012 just showed up, ready to resume mid-lesson.
