I have spent 15 years already trying to explain to my mom, that you have to push the mouse off of the controls in video player so the controls can hide.

And I don't get it. It shouldn't be an impossible concept to understand. Do yo have a similar experience with your parents?

@LukeAlmighty You know you can just wait and the mouse and video controls will disappear by themselves? You're just being autistic.
@LukeAlmighty My quintessential parental experience overall goes something like this:
>"It doesn't work, anon."
>"The power isn't even plugged in, bro." 😞
That you got mom to even play videos might be a monumental feat.

Well, we were a family of early adopters, so I guess so...

It's just sad to see them sometimes show an insane regression. For instnce, in one apartment, we have laptop next to the TV, and this year, they told me with a smile... The new TV is smart. It can connect to Internet and play from Voyo.

I haven't felt that disappointed for years.

@LukeAlmighty not just with my parents. With tons of my friends too. They are perfectly content with just leaving the mouse cursor wherever.
