But would someone in the lowest intelligence category ever admit to being in it?
Not to say that you're in it.
They wouldnt know would they. Like someone being mad doesn't know they're mad. Pretty much a cant win scenerio.
Got a tip for us?

Or like how some people think that getting your phone out to turn a light on is quicker than flicking a switch. There's no convincing some people.

Most don't do that, like I say they/I use timers, and location awareness so stuff switches on when I come home after dark. Time of the day/hour timers would be welcome but hue hasn't made it part of their app/device.
I would think bluetooth ibeacon capabilities would/could make walking into rooms automatic. Tied to an apple watch probably as thats a have on device. Would be useful for toilet I guess or hallway.
The way you think lighting works with home kit is not how I use it or experience it.
edit - and with hey siri soon it'll be easier to just say hey siri switch the lights on, or hey siri I'm going for a piss. And she'll switch the right lights on.
So basically you seem to ultimately point out that they in fact don't have them for the reasons you try to allude to earlier.I see we are still catering to the lowest intelligence. Those who need two red arrows on the side of the screen to let them know which way they are capable of scrolling *facepalm*
edit - and yes I do know clicking it takes you to top or bottom of page but its pointless and motion awkward.
For older people this certainly is a learning curve, but younger people can see the advantages of using technology. There are many reasons to turn the lights on before getting to the switch, it also could improve hygiene standards in British hospitals where we seem to struggle to get that sorted.Or like how some people think that getting your phone out to turn a light on is quicker than flicking a switch.

If you need to turn a light on somewhere in a different part of the house or if you aren't home yet or various other situations.Or like how some people think that getting your phone out to turn a light on is quicker than flicking a switch. There's no convincing some people.
What that really shows is that you simply don't understand what those arrows are actually there for.

Sorry you don't like it, I just find it very useful for quickly jumping up or down a page.
Which is why I think it was put there.
Me! I is! I r be in teh dum plase.
Pointless to you, perhaps, but not to others. I find it advantageous that no single user is able to dictate what everyone else is able to do.I see we are still catering to the lowest intelligence.

Those arrows have nothing to do with where a user can or cannot go, they exist to allow users to quickly jump to the top or bottom of the page. There needs to be some type of glyph there in order to alert the user to the existence of the feature and the most logical glyphs are arrows. Try to avoid seeing those arrows as indications of directional limitations and instead try to view them as shortcuts.
What gives MR where anyone can track what member is reading what post on this site at what time, I'm all for forum spy when I post, but tracking everything else for all to see?
It's just a feature of our forum software. You can disable it here:

The problem is, from my intuition, I would expect that the red down arrow brings me to the last post and not to the bottom of the page where the copyright/impressum etc. is (I would bet with you that most people won't need to quickly find the copyright/impressum and that sort of stuff on a everyday basis as a means of bettering their surfing experience.)
