Chindie Posted August 17, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 17, 2017 Google Assistant replacing Google Now on my phone this morning. Google Now was great, gave me news stories I might be interested in and timely updates, like journey info to and from work. Now, I've got an annoying dedicated Google search section that's infinitely less convenient. Presumably Now wasn't pulling in enough info for Google, because this is shit.

If you're referring to the definition of black being the absence of light or total light absorption, then the question still makes sense as she's asking which is appearing to reflect less light...

CMYK is the Pantone printing process, Key is a colour in that process, it approximates black. It's actually a very very very dark blue And what she should have said is which of the two images has the darker writing but I also suspect that wasn't what she was asking either.

bickster Posted August 17, 2017 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2017 Just now, a m ole said: I know I suspect you're fully aware of what the optician meant and are being pedantic for the fun of it haha Actually no, I genuinely have no idea what she was trying to get me to assess. Black writing with a red background, black writing with a green background. Which is the more Black? They were both Black! I asked her did she mean which were the more defined characters? Nope, she didn't mean that... I asked her did she mean, does one of the character sets look grey and not Black. No, she didn't mean that either. At least I can see properly though, unlike the first set of glasses they made 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 There's a sign in the kitchen at work - it's in Polish but is translated into English. But the English translation is the most patronising thing ever. Quote Please keep in mind, that we do not throw food waste into the sink.

Jon Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 ^^^ That appears to have been translated into American, not English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
