A few years ago I got a new range and the controls are all capacitive touch.  Mitts are a minor inconvenience, but also sometimes cooking is messy and liquid gets spilled here or there.  Now imagine how your phone works when you get some rain on the screen... yeah, it&amp;#x27;s not great.  I&amp;#x27;ve learned enough tricks to live with it since it&amp;#x27;s honestly the only thing I don&amp;#x27;t like about that range, but next time I&amp;#x27;ll probably shell out a little more for knobs if I have to.</text><parent_chain><item><author>FredPret</author><text>I always buy gadgets with physical buttons when possible.&lt;p&gt;- Microwave ovens should have a knob-button combo that I can work in 0.5 seconds without looking or reading the manual&lt;p&gt;- Ovens and stoves should have knobs I can turn with wet or oven-mitted hands&lt;p&gt;- Cars should have volume buttons I can twist or smack into silence without thinking about it for more than a moment&lt;p&gt;- Same with seat heaters, wipers, and anything I might do while the car is moving</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>VW is putting buttons back in cars</title><url>https://www.thedrive.com/news/vw-is-putting-buttons-back-in-cars-because-people-complained-enough</url></story>

It&amp;#x27;s a cheap brand with tech lagging behind the current by about ten years (guesstimate), which is annoying when it comes to safety features, but I love that I don&amp;#x27;t need to read the manual back to back to understand all its features and I can control the AC in curvy mountain roads without hesitation. And, big plus, they didn&amp;#x27;t invent their own silly overly complicated custom OS, you just connect your phone and you are good to go.</text><parent_chain><item><author>FredPret</author><text>I always buy gadgets with physical buttons when possible.&lt;p&gt;- Microwave ovens should have a knob-button combo that I can work in 0.5 seconds without looking or reading the manual&lt;p&gt;- Ovens and stoves should have knobs I can turn with wet or oven-mitted hands&lt;p&gt;- Cars should have volume buttons I can twist or smack into silence without thinking about it for more than a moment&lt;p&gt;- Same with seat heaters, wipers, and anything I might do while the car is moving</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>VW is putting buttons back in cars</title><url>https://www.thedrive.com/news/vw-is-putting-buttons-back-in-cars-because-people-complained-enough</url></story>
