Ehhhh,
Needs a barf react. How is it unity with the clashing colors?
Back in the day I had an IBM three-button optical USB mouse. That was the cat's meow.
I miss the big Logitech trackball mice. Those were top notch for sniping in Quake Team Fortress. If you were fighting scrubs you could even spawn camp and shoot them one after another as they were coming out of the respawn while they screamed and cried and called you a bot.
A friend had this piece of shit, the Logitech Cyberman, sold as the new way to play 3D games.
I think it’s more significant that the text on the clock changes colour to contrast the background- is This a new thing or have I just never noticed because I’m boring with plain backgrounds?
Can throw TVs into that mix as well.
And I still can't get my cooking timers to display on the Android lock screen...
I have a love/hate with mine
They also invariably use the shittiest touchscreens it is possible to buy. Even parked, it is sometimes maddening to try to find out where the "hitbox" on a button is. Despite having huge icons, only an itty bitty tiny little part of it is actually the real button. Honestly fuck this trash and when someone crashes thanks to this bullshit, which is even worse than fiddling with a cell phone while driving, these assholes should get sued. There's no excuse for this crap.
At least the original nintendo D's let you calibrate the screen. I've seen Chinamen $40 aftermarket car touchscreens with better responsiveness
DS also didn't lag by a half a second or so when you touched the screen. The tech in a $200 20-year-old handheld is literally better than the tech in my $50,000 F-150.
The DS is the shit. Somehow, with its megear specks if you dig into it's technical aspects, my battered DS lite has wonderful touch sensitivity, plays games no problem, and let's not get started on that battery life- left that fucker on many a time as a kid in the car overnight, still had power in the morning.
My vehicle has a physical knob for radio volume, but it's not a real knob attached to a potentiometer, instead it's really like +/- keys on a keyboard. There's no relationship between the position of the knob and loudness. It spins forever in either direction. Also, if you had the radio cranked when the vehicle was last used, the radio starts up loud, but you can't turn it down until the car is finished booting. 0/10 would not recommend.
A lot of aftermarket head units use the same kind of volume knob design, but unlike modern radios where it's basically integrated as part of a larger infotainment OS, there's no lag waiting for stuff to boot. It also saves volume history. I hate the OEM radio implementations.
I enjoy that my OEM head unit has bluetooth... with a multi-second delay. Which is great for driving instructions from my phone... Turn left at the next intersection... you mean this one? that I'm already turning at? Thanks for that.
I mean the delay you experince when you turn the car's systems on from the off state. Either in acc mode or fully on, a lot of modern cars will boot up their infotaintment screen but the volume control won't register until a few good moments later. I had this issue in Hondas mostly where the head units were running some old android version.
