A lot of the new sailing MFDs are touchscreen only as well now which guess how useful that is when you are being thrown around, at a 30 degree angle and completely soaked

There are some with buttons still, they just cost a lot more.

Less of an extreme environment, but most new oven ranges are touch screen controlled (and the lower end ones are lovely little phone-sized screens, at that.)
You have to go for a premium brand if you want separate control buttons and not have to navigate a multi-modal UI to set an oven timer.

Interacting with info/data in anyway is itself a piece of evidence, so censoring, deleting, etc is not the ultimate solution.

Hypothetically, it's now more difficult to remotely case a property to plan an attack. Any future modifications to the property will not be known by anyone using historic imagery to plan an attack.

The passenger versions of models primarily meant for the commercial market are reasonably dumb. Ford Transit, Mercedes Metris, etc.

I have a 2016 Metris. Backup camera, no touchscreen, no drive assist except for regular cruise control.

I am interested in most phases of data processing.
I'm going to go against the grain here and say that active cruise control on my Toyota is awesome. Maintaining speed/safe following distance is a very rote task that still takes up a lot of attention. The active cruise lets me use my human brain to focus on the stuff only it can do, like sensing if a nearby driver is squirrely or if someone is going to pull out in front of me, without having to glance down at the speedometer a lot.

Active cruise control and speed / distance maintaining are wonderful, but as soon as the car starts steering itself is where I draw the line.

Yeah, there's lots of good uses for intelligent assists in cars (cruise control, blindspot sensors, etc.) but we'd rather spend millions on self-driving rather than focus on the easier problems that would make every car on the road safer

I am baffled as to how YouTube algorithms work. I have my history/tracking thing turned off but it still kind of seems to know that I like certain music or comedy. And then I get weird poo poo like "Top 10 mistakes people make when replacing an electrical outlet" or some Tucker Carlson poo poo in my recommends and have no clue how those rise to the surface.

Nobody knows how it works. People talk about the algorithm the way ancient people spoke about their gods. “A Ben Shapiro video autoplayed for me. What have I done to anger you, YouTube Algorithm?”

If you accidentally move your mouse over a thumbnail and begin the autoplay preview, that counts as a watched video. This can lead to a bizarre recommendation spiral as you accidentally mouse-over increasingly irrelevant video recommendations.

Not just about the probability that you'll watch a video, but they're probably still doing the dumb meta algorithm where they want you to watch videos that they think will get you to keep watching more videos and so they show you links to videos that might lead you down a rabbit hole of becoming an insane right wing freak

Google apps scan activity/keywords from your other apps, with the only exception being the Apple's recent system-level privacy option of not allowing apps to track by default.
Also you should be ruthlessly pruning your Recommended tab by telling it not to recommend channels you never want to see again

As always, the best curation is self-curation
