Oh, god, the Touch Bar was already a frustrating enough piece of UI, don't give Apple more ideas.

It enabled a neat set of affordances, but not worth losing core functionality over.
If I was on the design team they would have fired me for screaming at everyone. Screaming is good UI tho.
Oh man. I really do start screaming sometimes.
At user interfaces, too often. At unbelievably bad product choices of all kinds.
The simpler & dumber the issue the louder I get.
Someone creates a quality flat tine garden rake with about 40 metal tines, and charges accordingly. The person who manages stickers, because everything needs stickers, creates huge stickers they glue across all the tines. You try to peel it off and now you have over two dozen tines with long streaks of shredded paper glued hard to them.
Screaming is an appropriate place to put the high spin WTF-a-tons that might otherwise feed the universe’s dark energy.
And that, dear reader, is my theory of dark energy.
The analogy is probably to start with a 5G wifi HD camera doorbell with cloud hosting, night vision, human body motion detection zones and you end with a heavy duty cast iron door knocker that has one moving part and instantly reveals something personal about the person at the door. A small art work depicting something about you. They come as dragons, goats, unicorns, vikings, snakes, Bumble bees, Longhorns, Moose, Neptune, Bacchus, all kinds of tools and all kinds of symbols. Build to last many times longer than the house.
And then people cant find the bell...
Why, yes. I find “dark” humor to be therapeutic and calming.
Small problems become funny memories, instead of contributing stress, when compared to real problems. Like the heat death of the universe.
All kinds here.
