‘Tesla Syndrome’ Explains Why Tech Is Making Us Miserable::There’s a class war that’s leading to worse innovations—but it’s not between the sides you think it is.

It’s not tech. It’s capitalism.
God damn, I feel like this is the same as that other shit article.
Why are people so stupid, lol. Oh wait life is literally marketing in 2020. I don’t even know if I’m alive anymore. Do me a favor and check my seo and engagement.
It’s like every issue is just privileged assholes complaining that the way they raped Earth and lives didn’t work out for their good.
The article is literally about the problem of ownership being too concentrated and wealth overruling people with knowledge of businesses. “Tech” here doesn’t mean technology it means the big tech companies.
Posted by the same person. Hmm.
What? The bot that is also a moderator on Technology@lemmy.world?
This article is a hodge podge of bullshit… Was this AI generated
Tech / innovation for its own sake has been an issue for as long as I can remember (back to the 80s) and I wouldn’t be surprised if it dates back to the first stone tools. So you end up with a mix of useful, helpful innovations and idiotic ones at any given time. Tech nerds like me tend to try to find ways to apply what we know whether it helps or not…
I, for one, do want to go back to wind down windows, manual transmission, and dials on my stove top. A lot of modern technology is flashy but shit in practice. Touch screens in cars for example. It will always be better to have physical buttons you can memorize the locations of and navigate by feel.
Bought a brand new car without a touchscreen and you know what? It’s fabulous! The 4-way jog wheel is so much better than trying to touch an app or a button on a screen. Oh and it has a physical volume knob! It’s just great to use.
Ooh, what car is that?
I have knobs on my stove and you are right, its better
Bought a microwave with analog dials a little while ago. Surprisingly rare and more expensive, but operating microwave is never easier now compared to inputting numbers on a shitty keypad. Just turn the power level knob and the timer knob and it’s on.
Yep, two simple mechanical knobs is easily the best microwave oven interface. Although I do like the fancy Samsung microwave I have that is almost completely silent and lightweight, I think it uses an inverter instead of a chonky HV transformer. I wish I could get a combo of that inverter with a couple of simple knobs for controls.
Oh god. New stoves don’t have knobs? Are they touchscreens now too? I will pretend I did not just read that information and be a ‘old man yells at cloud’ when the time comes to buy a new stove.
Our electric cooking plate is touch only, and our oven has touch buttons in combination with physical dials for temperature/timers.
I honestly want to smash my stupid fucking stove top with it’s bullshit touch buttons that decide to activate when I happen to move a hot pan across them. I would smash it if I wasn’t renting.
Teslas are the worst cars on the road. Usually driven by assholes.
Worst cars on the road? Care to elaborate on that a bit since it’s quite bold claim
This seems terribly biased. Your broken elevator isn’t Tesla’s fault. Also I love my fucking Telsa, its slick as fuck. Don’t compare my space car to your broken ass building.
It’s ridiculously biased and 100% ragebait for all involved. The problem today is shit like this article, not Teslas.
