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.
