Thundercracker posted:Also the interfaces are for the audience to see. Like those transparent holographic displays Iron Man and Star Trek uses. Actually using it would suck. If Elon actually managed to get a Elonphone to market, it'd be like those glass slab hand terminals from The Expanse and we'll get so many quality "Love the phone, but some guy with a camera on his shoe like he was gonna take upskirt photos just stole my credit card info while I was buying a gizmo. Is this normal?" tweets from rubes, and I'm here for it.

I just realized that neither capacitive buttons nor touchscreens are usable when you get into the car wearing gloves. Speaking from northern Ontario in the winter, lol But then you’d probably have issues with battery charge anyway in -20C if you don’t have a garage.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:I loved this loving thing so much. I'm kinda mad I sold my 1st gen iPod that had the actually rotating disc. I know a lot of people hated them for getting hosed up with dirt and stuff, but I liked it way more than the next one with the stationary disc and tactile feedback. It was such a weird but at the same time awe inspiring way of navigating with the device. When it comes to revolutionary input devices, Apple just knocked it out of the park for such a long time...iPod click wheel, actually fluid touch/gesture control on the first iPhone, the incredible touchpads starting with the TiBook...good times.

Data Graham posted:not cool enough My work macbook got replaced by one of the models with a touch bar instead of function keys, and arbitrarily changing key layouts via software is a terrible design choice. Using the old function keys to alter volume or brightness was simple via muscle memory and tactile feedback and barely broke my flow. Now I have to stop what I'm doing, look away from the screen, find the volume icon, tap and gently caress around with dragging sliders to do something that used to take a couple of keystrokes. I hate doing that while computer touching. The idea of having to do it while driving horrifies me.

I've been grumbling for 20 odd years now about how going to a capacitive click wheel instead of a physically rotating one is a step backward for usability. When the piece of plastic is moving along with your fingertip it guides your finger naturally in a circle and maintains contact via stiction, but if it's just a circular pad you have to do the rotating yourself Then they doubled down with the row of identical little circular capacitive buttons that you couldn't locate your fingers on without "pressing" them CommieGIR posted:The bar wouldn've made more sense if it didn't replace the Esc and F keys and was just an optional added keybar. They did realize this themselves and updated the touchbar with a physical Esc key, but it took till the M1 generation to finally give up and realize the whole thing was a lovely idea just like the iPod buttons and the Tesla screens loving UI  designers who think they're insightful geniuses who have come up with something nobody else has thought of and dismissed as stupid ages agoData Graham fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Jan 6, 2023 |

Lmao Tesla was down before markets even opened, and dropped further. We’re in the mid-103’s right now  Fake e: we’re approaching the sweet spot where percentage losses are the same as dollar losses!

Data Graham posted:The yoke wheels are maybe THE most "8-year-old designing a car and not having any idea why things are the way they are" thing about Tesla. Also needs to be round for safety; If something goes wrong or even if you ride over a pothole you should be able to just squeeze down tight which is impossible when your controller slips out of your hand. A wheel stays where it is.

grittyreboot posted:Tesla keeps advertising Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk for their gaming system and those are horrible games for that kind of screen. You'd just be looking down and to the right trying to read pretty information dense HUDs on a screen that's about the size of those tiny TV's you get for your kitchen. Not to mention both games were designed to be played for well over a hour at a time, not for the 20 or so minutes you need to spend at a recharging station. the implication is that you'll be gaming while FSD drives you. obv this will never happen.

I drive a lot of rental cars for work and there are some really lovely designs/materials used in brand new cars. I intend to drive my CX-5 until it dies but I was able to rent a 2022 Mazda 3 GT Turbo last year and it really had me thinking about starting a car loan from scratch. I just can't bring myself to going back to a hatchback with the lovely roads we have in RI

I'm sort of surprised the user data hack isn't getting more press. Is it because the actual hack happened a few years ago? Or people are just sort of used to this sort of thing nowadays.

Speaking from northern Ontario in the winter, lol I live in the colorado high rockies where they regularly close the highways during blizzards meaning traffic sits for hours on the highway until they can clear the wreck or whatever. Now it's common knowledge you don't drive on the highway here in the winter without a full tank of gas (if not with extra spare fuel). Now imagine sitting in a tesla running the heater on an ever weaker battery. I don't care what tesla says the capabilites are I would be freaking out. Still so many people have them up here.
