Ugh. I just got a new laptop, and if I hit some mysterious key, the keyboard stops typing letters and starts being hotkeys for actions. Then I try to search on my phone for the solution and the only one is to restart the laptop. Stupid STUPID people design electronics.
What I find the most annoying about closed-captioning is when my wife has it on and the program is live-captioned – so the captions are a few seconds behind what is being said.
That last phrase is why I avoid real TVs these days. Streaming services are bad enough, but computer defenses are up to blocking the most irritating habits of media studios.

Quick! Someone set the subtitles to Latin—just because. Quid Latine dictum sit, altum videtur! (“That which is said in Latin, seems profound.”)

Yesterday I streamed a British film and up popped closed captioning in Indonesian.

“If you turn this off, we’ll charge extra.”
Some of us don’t need Closed Caption.
