I genuinely can’t properly express how much I hate #touchscreens in #cars.

If your car doesn’t have physical buttons and knobs for every function (and also doesn’t have #CarPlay), I’m not even going to consider it the next time that I have to buy a new one.

This is a hill that I will die on, and not because I had to take my eyes off of the road to adjust the rear defrost and swerved into a knoll.

Volkswagen 👴 finally realizes that #touchscreens are about as popular as socks with sandals and decides to resurrect physical buttons. Because who doesn't love mashing buttons like it's 1999 while driving? 🚗💥 Please, VW, what's next? A comeback for the cassette player? 🎶

Are Touchscreens in Cars Dangerous?

I've installed the old #Oxygen style on #bazzite via rpm-ostree:

rpm-ostree install oxygen-cursor-themes oxygen-sounds plasma-oxygen-qt5 plasma-oxygen-qt6 oxygen-fonts oxygen-icon-theme oxygen-mono-fonts oxygen-sans-fonts plasma-oxygen

It's way better to use then Breeze for #touchscreens - i also use it on #SteamOS on my #SteamDeck

I also switched for #konsole, #okular and #gwenview to #Fedora packages. This works much better for remote volumes than the #flatpak versions:

flatpak remove okular gwenview konsole; rpm-ostree install okular gwenview konsole

🚗 Oh, #Volkswagen, in an age of #touchscreens and AI assistants, you're bringing back... knobs? 🤔 Because nothing says "cutting-edge" like a good old-fashioned button. Welcome to the #future, circa 1995! 😂

Pretty sure I'm on my last smartphone. (And I've never had a tablet.) Capacitive touchscreens have always been terrible for me, but at this point any phone or tablet I touch considers me an inanimate object four times out of five. I think I'm done hoping the technology will come around.

Touch Screens Are Over. Even Apple Is Bringing Back Buttons.

Product designers are embracing how users actually feel after years of pushing flat & sleek

15 years of watching designers & engineers cram touchscreens & capacitive buttons down our throats, only to be outflanked by a new generation of thinkers who recognize that true luxury is the considered weight of a dial, the reassuring click of a physical key.

#Buttons #TouchScreens #Controls #Tech

It was obvious to tech types like myself why #Tesla went with a touchscreen for their interiors: #Touchscreens are WAY cheaper than gauges, buttons, & knobs.

Tesla spent their R&D dollars in their powertrains, and they became rightfully famous for it, but they spent virtually zero on the vehicle interiors and instead touted the bland interiors as minimalist design ethos…and it worked.

And instead of staying the course, the industry followed, and now people are mad.

I have enough trouble with #touchscreens, and I'm sighted. I can't imagine how difficult it is for you.

Where I am, #retail locations are replacing their older POS #payment terminals with newer-generation ones that ditch the #keypad for a touchscreen. The pads of my fingers are thick and dry and don't activate them well; it takes 3 or 4 tries to activate each "button" press.

How on earth are the blind supposed to use these?

#UI designers need to meet real #users.

Bring back the #buttons: Mechanische #Knöpfe statt #Touchscreens im #Auto | heise online https://www.heise.de/news/Bring-back-the-buttons-Mechanische-Knoepfe-statt-Touchscreens-im-Auto-9671384.html

I thought #touchscreens in cars for ancillary controls like ventilation and radio were enough of a usability nightmare so *I actually gasped out loud* on reading the first sentence of this article:

https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/5/24091043/euro-ncap-safety-rating-europe-2026-touchscreen-buttons-dials

"Car makers in Europe are being encouraged to stop using touchscreens for basic functions like turn signals and wipers"

which suggests at least some manufacturers are using touchscreens for indicators and wipers, which is *bonkers*.

Buttons, stalks, and dials, people.

My rant on stove #TouchScreens has reminded me of something. Home buttons on #phones. Well, Back, Home, and Recent, on most #Android phones. I can't be the only one that misses them, surely! Can't be the only one that preferred that satisfying click to tapping, and that added texture, personality.
So here's a #poll! Did you also love those buttons? Or am I the only one that sometimes digs out their old XCover 3 and thinks "You're old and buggy, but damn, if only I could move those buttons of yours to the Fairphone ..."

There are no #TouchScreens in #StarWars. That's how you know it's advanced tech.
