Software didn't have to be this way...
Meanwhile 10-12 years ago my cousin was ticketed for distracted driving in the midwest because the trucking company he worked for bolted a laptop to the dashboard of his semi tractor. Though somehow these mostly useless screens are okay to have? I dont get it.
I tried to buy one with physical knobs but was told that the manufacturers who make them are moving to the touch controls.
So I’m going back to gas.
I'm mad at the thing just writing this!
That's exactly what happened to me while staying in a serviced apartment. It's hilarious, ridiculous, and sad all at the same time. As a software developer I died a little inside that day. Fortunately I haven't had to put up with that crap once I checked out of there.
With mine moving the pan on the wrong plate will trigger a lock button, in other words it locks the whole interface. So even if you want to switch the whole thing off you first have to press a button that's now as hot as your pan.
There's no escaping horrible user interfaces.
At least i hope not, I wouldn't be surprised to find a cooker controlled by a phone style touch screen running Android.
But but but how else would you get the gigantic digital clock take TWO lines of a lock screen?! Someone needed to design it!
I hate the new color palettes as well, I wish I hadn't upgraded
I'm on a Pixel6. It is kind of an upgrade to my previous 4 year old phone and I sort of like it but no, it does not have a better battery and it barely has any better performance, but other Android phones are ad-ingested junk ( looking at you, f!cking Samsung ) or a joke of a software ( Looking at you, OnePlus), plus they arent whitelisted on major US carriers in Feb 2022, so Pixel it was.
The new UI is total junk compared to the UI of 11. To make it somewhat better I replaced the launcher with ActionLauncher 3, disabled gestures and disabled Google Assistant.
What I want to know is if "Now Playing" can be made into a widget/app-tap, because no, I do not want it always listening.
