Tbh I hate the touchscreenization of everything. Physical buttons are cool and more inclusive for people with sight issues!
The worst offender for my first-world ass is induction hobs, they all have touch-based interface which cease to function when shit is wet… like, you know, for example, when water is overheating and it spills everywhere, so, basically the moment you need them the most
Tactile feedback also means you can accurately use the equipment without having to look at it, which is imporant if you’re, say, navigating a vehicle
god forbid they are in a stressful combat situation
Physical interactable objects objectively cause less accidents and incidents due to not needing to be distracted from whatever task you were doing prior to needing to focus on some shitty iPad on your cars dash just to turn on the AC or turn down the radio
I miss my slide phone with a real keyboard cause I could text and walk at the same time
Like as slow as it was, I was hella accurate at typing essays on my little flip phone without even looking at the screen, sure I had to click like 3 times on the 9 button to get the Y, but I would never “accidentally” hit the bytton nrxt to the burton I wsnted to hit on this damn not-so-smart phone and end up having to fix every fourth word I type just because it thinks I hit the e viertual key instread of the r virtual key or vise versa or some other bullshit because it’s gaslighting me into thinking I have bratwurst fingers WHEN MY FINGERS ARE VERY NORMAL SIZED THABK YOU VETY MUCH
I make soooo many typos on a touch screen and never had a dingle issue with buttons. Dingle has been left in place of single ad an example. Same with ad
They still make some of those with a touchscreen too
Probably for the best it’s getting more and more frustrating to use a phone for online, makes it easier to put down
We’ve got one of those at work and a pot as a stand in until a new deep fryer shows up. And yeah, we are soaking that thing in oil. And then when you dry it you end out pushing a bunch of random buttons so it’s easiest just to turn it off and on again after. Genius.
…they were piloting destroyers with TOUCH CONTROLS? Jfc, terminal bazinga brain
edit: source tweet of the art
Gonna be running supper carriers with Mass Effect holographic controls and setting new world records for times run aground
… scratch your nose and fire all the point defense guns…
They already ran Ticonderoga class cruiser aground in the Tokio Bay in 2018 and even had oil spill from it.
JUST LIKE LE EPIC ZYBERTRUKKKS
Yeah , and because the ships are so old and badly maintained they had to constantly reboot the controls and find work arounds for them.
> named after John McCain
> crashesI read this article about the 2017 crash, it is ridiculous how bad the touchscreen system is. Terrible UI, they had to turn it off and back on again when there were problems, and they had to turn off anti-collision tracking of nearby ships because it overwhelmed the system. On top of that, they had minimal training and didn’t even understand how to transfer steering from one station to another.
The incompetence and terrible touchscreens is like what you would expect at a retail job, and they’re running the navy like this. The plus side for the rest of the world is that the US navy could get their asses beat in combat when it comes down to it.
Well we now know another reason why the navy lost in the millennium challenge mock battle against iran
Bu…bu…bu… but… the Iranian OpFor were ccchhheeeaatttiinnnggg
Cheating with the entirely unrealistic technology of dudes on motorcycles
How dare that commander use knowledge of the military’s tactics to devise a plan that directly counteracts it! Didn’t he get the memo that opfor are big dumb dumbs who can’t figure out which way to point a rocket?
Man I really wish we could see the US get washed by a categorically weaker opponent.

Drink verification can to launch missile

*some gizmo
Starfleet never had these issues with their touch screens
And G*mers don’t believe me when i say that UI is one of the most important parts of the game.
