    @pluralistic My favorite factoid is that those buttons are generally not even wired to anything, or if they are, they don't function unless the fire dept key is turned.

          @mdc @pluralistic could very well be that the button isn't even wired to anything

            @pluralistic Interesting skeuomorphic design in the symbol here, which imitates stencil forms, even though it's clearly moulded.

              @pluralistic I have nothing to cite, but I've been told by people who seemed like they ought to know, that that button doesn't actually do anything.

                @dwhisper @pluralistic In Japan and other Asian countries they are most definitely connected and routinely used by people as a courtesy.

                    @pluralistic I wonder why only one of the "locks" is labelled. What happens if you use the other lock? Why would you put two near identical and important interaction points next to each other with only a tiny text label to differentiate them?

                    @LonM @pluralistic

                    My guess is the "Lock" one prevents the elevator from moving and the other one opens the panel for maintenance. Or maybe the other way around.

                      @dwhisper @pluralistic
                      The option for the door buttons to work or not will be specific to the elevator location, operation, and its maintenance,

                      But i wanted to say that i used to fix skee-balls and the factory key for their ticket dispensers worked in that elevator keyhole for me once

                        If I had a job fixing skee-ball games, I'd never work a day in my life.

                          @dwhisper @pluralistic So, if we want the wave of mis- and disinformation to stop, which will never happen, should we not stop spreading nonsense?

                          Maybe there are places where this button is not connected. Unlikely, but possible...

                          I know from fact - living and working where I lived and worked - the buttons are connected and work as designed.

                          Want to be taken seriously? Check your facts and stop feeding the monster. Please.
