quick time event for introverts
@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.

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

@dwhisper @pluralistic This has been debunked! https://computer.rip/2023-03-13-the-door-close-button.html

@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?
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.

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

@RnDanger @dwhisper @pluralistic
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.

@dwhisper @pluralistic Not true at all. Yes, depending on where you live, local regulations may require that elevator doors have to stay open (held) for a minimum period of time after opening, though after that minimum door open time has been elapsed, the door close button should work fine as normal. I've never personally encountered a scenario where the door close button is intentionally not wired up to anything inside the elevator (and if it was, I'm sure it would fail an inspection).
