    I want actual buttons on more devices. Touchscreen shit is a liability and outright dangerous in some situations, but nooooo, Holy Steve Jobs must be emulated forevermore. disgost

        Me trying to pull up the bus schedule on my phone, but my fingers are too cold to register on the screen.

        Too cold, too damp… winter in my new location made phones really frustrating.

        And for what? Why must it be like this, besides a paradoxical “innovation” laziness?

      i have a car with a touch screen for the radio and it is by far the worst most backwards thing i can imagine putting in a vehicle that can kill people.

          also the space-x capsule. no way i’d go up in a spacecraft where i can’t “reroute the portside bus to the aft solar array!” or something like that.

          not just physical buttons but i demand panels that can be easily removed and wires swapped around

          imagine apollo 13 but with a single touchscreen and welded panels

        The thing I do like about some touchscreen cars is that they get more steering wheel buttons
