Touchscreens Are Out, and Tactile Controls Are Back
  • It had nothing to do with being a good idea. It was just the more profitable idea. Tactile controls cost more to install than a cheap touchscreen with a dogshit GUI. Bonus being you have a proprietary part, the consumer can't easily swap out later if they want. So you've baked in some nice obsolescence to boot.

    Ain't capitalism great? Race to the bottom.

    Games featuring paid loot boxes will soon receive a mandatory 'M' rating in Australia
  • Many places won't sell M rated games to minors without a guardian present. It also allows guardians to make better informed decisions about what they're about to buy for their children. It may not be a silver bullet, but it might start to put some pressure on studios to think twice about putting gambling in games targeted towards children.

    EVs Could Last Nearly Forever—If Car Companies Let Them
  • I would think an electric vehicle would have quite a lot fewer things like gaskets and other seals since gas isn't involved. Other than the normal wear and tear items like brakes, shocks, rotors, etc, battery repair would be the major thing I'd expect to need work. I imagine many mechanics aren't trained to handle these, so they end up just replacing the whole unit. Obviously this is wasteful though but could be easily solved via training.
