  • I think it’s because manufacturers value slick UI over usable UI.

    LCARS is a great example. In universe, the buttons are likely programmed to the users specifications, macros and automations that have been developed over their career or even lifetime.

    But when present day people tried to create LCARS for their own apps, it’s a fucking nightmare. Too much wasted space and buttons that only look like Star Trek but don’t actually do anything impressive.

    Touchscreens in a car could work if they were user tested but they aren’t. And not only that, but they are rent-seeking devices that companies use to lock out features like fucking heated seats!

    What I’d love to see is a completely open-source infotainment system. Android could have been a great OS if they didn’t fuck their users.










  • I just can’t wait for microwave to have an integration with AI. I just need another internet connected device that can recommend a nice laxative after scanning what it just cooked. Not only that but it could integrate with my smart fridge and make sure that it orders food that is just about to expire from Instacart. And with its partnership with Doordash, the microwave could just stop working and order a replacement meal for me.

    …said no one ever.
