Being colorblind and having motion sickness are totally different things. One cannot get over being colorblind. It can never go away. Motion sickness (99% of cases) can be managed. Exposure therapy works. Look at every navy ship. They start the voyage with half the crew seasick. But after a few months it practically disappears. One interesting stat from the miltary: cadets who were competative swimmers generally dont…
> One cannot get over being colorblind. It can never go away. Bizzare and fascinating thing, but that's perhaps not as rock-solid as it might appear. Some (or at least 1) people have reported improved color perception post magic mushrooms. > Though the subject reported intensification of colors while under the acute effects of psilocybin, his score on plates 1–21 improved only slightly to 15 at 12 h post-administrati…
Damn, I really didn't expect to get a downvote on this. Anything I said wrong, or someone just disagreeing?
I'd think the concept of "brain tweaks can improve color vision" is a good thing.

At my first job our project manager was colorblind (red-orange/yellow). One day he dropped a photo of his cars dashboard at a red light with an orange "check engine light" > "Quick, is this red or orange I need to know if it'll blow". I'm sure it's a really annoying condition but at the time it was pretty funny and he joked around with it a lot
google lens can probably answer these kinds of questions for him, but uh, he should be aware not to trust his car blowing up with AI!

#94These are the type of problems that are completely invisible to someone who doesn't experience it. I wouldn't have even known it was a problem to solve. A few years back we played an escape room game online with the whole team. One of the clues was in one of my colleagues "room". All he had to do was read it. "Come one read it man, we can win this." He froze. We all insisted he reads it. He could not read it. We thou…
I’m colorblind and the weird thing is that it’s somewhat unpredictable when I will not see things. It’s not so simple as “can’t read red on green”. Shading and lighting matter enormously. An orange frisbee is harder to find in grass then a red one.
The strange thing is that I somehow convinced myself that I wasn’t colorblind during my childhood, in spite of obvious evidence, because I often could figure out colors. Then during an eye exam at 19 years old I failed 11/12 vision tests.

Just FYI, the check engine light (orange or yellow) is never an emergency. It's normally something emissions-related. Oil and temperature, yes those are much more critical but those are separate (red) indicators. You don't need to rely on color if you know this.

Solid color yeah. A flashing check engine light can be an emergency if you want to avoid more costly repairs later

It triggers for me on trains too, so I think it's just accelerometer + location
I would assume the acceleration pattern of being in a vehicle is somewhat distinct. I'd be curious what happens when you are in a vehicle that drives completely steady (no turns/acceleration/deceleration) - would it eventually turn off? I guess you wouldn't get motion sick in that case either way.
I've used it on trains a bit and it does turn off when the train is going straight ahead. You might be going 200km/h, but if the speed isn't changing and you're always going forward you don't really feel any force, and neither does the phone, so the dots don't need to be there any more.

Yep my check engine light went straight to flashing when I was driving once. I drove to the nearest garage (about 2 miles away) to get it fixed. A spark plug had blown up/exploded and pieces of ceramic from the spark plug had completely scratched up the inside of my cylinder over those 2 miles rendering that engine unfixable.
Re: Vehicle Motion Cues
#100This is an easy enable with "Automatic Detection". Are there any other phone "Accessibility" options that are useful to everyone?
Bit of a niche, but I use inverted colors and the camera app to find ticks on my dog. Enabled by triple-clicking the lock button under Settings -> Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut -> Classic invert
Please expand… how does this help you find ticks?
