@rl_dane Unfortunately you are correct. #UserInterface Design, of course, isn't limited to #computers. There aren't too many new #vehicles these days that do *not* have a #touchscreen #infotainment #center. They are a distraction.

Same goes for #synthesizers. Many #digital #synths have gorgeous touchscreens but few #tactile #controls. Menu diving has always been an issue on these devices but it's definitely worsened. A lot of my time architecting new sounds is spend navigating an OS with my fingertips.

On the flip side, these instruments are ridiculously powerful. Multiple SoCs and running #Linux!

So Mazda’s finally waving the white flag on that scroll-wheel infotainment gospel. According to the article, the 2026 CX-5 swaps it for a 15.6-inch touchscreen and ditches *all* hard buttons—yes, even the volume knob and physical climate controls. Progress, or just a different way to miss the menu like a cat missing the laser? 😼
