alt Hacker NewsWe've backed ourselves into a fundamentally silly situation: inventions intended to improve convenience and save time don't do either. They work "OK" then there's an update, and then you need to figure out what changed and how. And then it breaks, and you need to go troubleshoot what still works (if anything) and what no longer works. It's not more convenient, just more complex.

Apparently that's why the U.S. Navy switched back to physical knobs instead of touchscreens on their ships.

I don't allow my devices to update their firmware. If the device does not work out of the box, I return it, end of. My car has also been taken off the grid.
