I’m seeing a lot of wonkiness but maybe it’s just compression.

Did something happen to the screenshot? The font rendering looks hella weird.
Yeah it drives me bonkers every time I have to use it.
It’s worse than that too because I grew up with gas and electric hot plates. I’ve 20 years of ingrained habit causing me to move pots and pans off the plate to quickly adjust temperature. I’ve legit lost count of the amount of times I’ve absent-mindedly pulled a hot pan over the controls causing the stove to become unusable for a while.
These are the most sensitive touch controls I’ve ever experienced. They’re triggered by moisture and even putting pans or groceries on them.
I’ve had similar situations happen before. Moved into this apartment in September. This stove will be the death of me.
Yeah! Instead of having a knob my idiot stove has “touch areas” - good luck cooking if you’re blind.
At my old place, if I wanted to set the bottom left plate to the hottest setting, I’d put my hand on the leftmost knob and turn counter-clockwise until it snapped once.
On this thing I usually have to start with turning off the child lock. We never turn it on, but every time we wipe off the stove there’s a like 95% chance the child lock activates due to the lingering moisture.
After turning the child lock off you have to hold the power “zone.” Then you have to select which burner by holding its zone - if you don’t you’ll start changing the timer when you hold down the - button to cycle from 0 to keep warm, to 9, and then press + to turn it from 9 to boost.
I’m legit not joking. Mind you this example is when the piece of shit behaves. I’ve an absentmindedly placed lids on the off “button” before and had the piece of junk refuse to turn back on for half an hour.
What does the touch controls add to my experience other than frustration? A knob doesn’t activate from water splashes. A knob doesn’t turn from residual moisture from a slightly damp cloth. A knob is tactile and pleasing to hold, and can be used by anyone of appropriate age, even if they’re blind.
Four knobs could pull the weight that these NINE touch “buttons” fucking struggle with.
I was boiling pasta earlier and my fucking stove turned itself off and engaged the child lock because water splashed onto those controls. THREE TIMES!
I’ve had this piece of shit literally ruin dinner before. It’s amazing how it can be both really nice and really fucking useless at the same time.
That’s not what I mean. I mean literally not being able to access stuff when you’re not logged in. How am I supposed to know what this company is posting?
What I think is surprising is how many still use the fucking platform. It’s completely neutered. Companies shouldn’t be posting news to it because unless you have an account you probably can’t fucking view it.
Guillotine for the lot, I say.
If he’s willing to trample all over people, exploit them, and have them die for his sake, then absolutely.
Billionaires don’t care about people. They don’t view others as human. To them workers are robots, a statistical means to an end. Who cares if someone dies in some factory/warehouse somewhere? There’ll be another to replace them before the end of the day.
A billionaire gladly takes the effort of others and claims it as their own. They go out of their way to do it.
That’s not to say that every evil person acting like this will automatically become a billionaire, but you need to be OK with doing these things in order to get there. A billion USD is such an insane sum you cannot legitimately accumulate that without hurting people in the process. Like there’s no logical way of actually earning that amount of money. That’s money you take.
You need to be a horrible person to become a billionaire.
Hahaha. They’re totally okay with stealing from people but hate it when others do the same to them. What a shame!
Yeah, that feels like a measured response.
Yeah that bar is too low. Putting tech in someone to keep them alive or enhance their life somehow should come with some sort of permanent responsibility from somewhere. If the company goes bankrupt the expertise doesn’t just vanish, then make it a public responsibility to ensure that whoever was granted eyesight from some kind of implant, gets to keep that. Hell, make the technology and research public as well.
Bodyparts/functions should belong entirely to whomever possess them, a company going bankrupt doesn’t suddenly mean that someone should lose their ability to walk or whatever.
No company should be able to “own” someone’s bodypart, or their ability to perform a certain task or whatever. The notion is preposterous.
Roadwork on E4, pawn wears a hard hat and hivis gear for OSHA compliance.
This sort of tech needs to be heavily regulated in how proprietary it can be; not at fucking all.
Harambe died for our screens.
So many companies use twitter as a way to disseminate information. It’s the worst since you now can’t fucking access it if you don’t have an account.
My favourite clip is the one where the Tesla, seconds after repeatedly trying to kill a cyclist, decides that it’s a train and tries to go on the train tracks instead.
And people pay for that bullshit.
Oh that explains why I couldn’t find the option on my work phone the other week. I thought I was just too stupid to find it, but Pixels just don’t have it?
I chose a Pixel 6 as a work phone thinking it’d be the least BS, least hassle, best Android experience you’d get, and honestly it felt lacking. Definite downgrade compared to my XS, and at best a side-grade to the OnePlus One my XS replaced.
