    Touchscreens suck. They’re used because they’re cheap, not because it’s good for usability. They’re not accessible to people with vision problems. They absolutely suck as controls for things like earphones. They have their place, but that place is not literally everywhere!

    And the “everything online” trend was old and ugly in 2000 already. It hasn’t improved with age. I’d like to be able to use my computer without having to connect to the Internet.

      I have a kitchen robot with buttons. All the new models from the same series have a big touch screen.

      Touch screen. In a kitchen. Where things get wet and greasy. And let’s not talk about the login.

      I am so damn happy I bought it before it was enshittified.

        I just found out this exists because that’s the first time I’ve heard the term “kitchen robot.”
