This story makes me laugh. The irony of an Apple co-founder chastising another company for updates that slowly and significantly make the experience worse everytime is too rich. I don’t have a Tesla and I’m fully bought into the Apple ecosystem and my god, the recent updates to the HomePod line and Siri have made it genuinely unusable. Not a single speaker can stay in sync for a whole song. And god forbid you want to…

That being said it's funny that Wozniak left Apple before Apple era.

Nerds are generally disconnected from consumer tech.

The worst part is dweebs genuinely believing Woz was more important than Jobs…

Woz is 100x the net positive to humanity of Jobs.

Jobs collected a lot of money which just benefitted himself at the expense of everyone else. Everyone else just got handed shiny pacifiers that didn't actually enable, empower, or enrich them as well as other actual "bicycles for the mind".

Dweebs do indeed believe Woz is more important than Jobs, in the same way they believe actual tools are more important than toys and pacifiers no matter how pretty they are, and don't confuse "succeeds at extracting money from everyone else" with "important".

Of all of the malfeatures that have been incorporated into modern cars, I think touchscreens are in the top three list of the worst.

or you can just talk to the car and voice-control whatever you need done - safer than both touchscreen or physical buttons

23 Miata, generally mazda is good with physical controls on safety/driving apparatus. Once a week (more lately), a random picture takes over car's entire UI. As in, it is stroring backup cam data, and randomly showing a photo from weeks ago until I restart the car. Not a "deal breaker", but I functionally cannot use maps, music, the clock . "cars do not need toiuchscreeps to operate" yeah but i paid to be able to use…

I own a Mazda CX30 since 2021 and the most important buttons are all physical. There is still a screen of course, but it is not a sensitive one. Basically, after a few weeks, you reach most of the buttons through muscle memory. You never need to move your sight out of the road to start your music or anything else... So far, it has been a great experience

It's a great experience when the head unit and screen work.

My muscle memory is very much fine, however I can't put it into practice when the screen turns into a static photo from my rearview camera from some date in the past, until I restart the car.

I have experience the same on a few cx30 rentals in same age range, you def got lucky. Or me and a few thousand others got really unlucky.
