It had nothing to do with being a good idea. It was just the more profitable idea. Tactile controls cost more to install than a cheap touchscreen with a dogshit GUI. Bonus being you have a proprietary part, the consumer can't easily swap out later if they want. So you've baked in some nice obsolescence to boot.
Ain't capitalism great? Race to the bottom.
Many places won't sell M rated games to minors without a guardian present. It also allows guardians to make better informed decisions about what they're about to buy for their children. It may not be a silver bullet, but it might start to put some pressure on studios to think twice about putting gambling in games targeted towards children.
Ew, the Waltons? No thanks.
Oh easy, cuz he's filthy rich.
Of course. But it'd be nice to put these losers in their place.
Smart enough to not be working border patrol.

This is obviously just you flexing what little power you have in your life.
I would think an electric vehicle would have quite a lot fewer things like gaskets and other seals since gas isn't involved. Other than the normal wear and tear items like brakes, shocks, rotors, etc, battery repair would be the major thing I'd expect to need work. I imagine many mechanics aren't trained to handle these, so they end up just replacing the whole unit. Obviously this is wasteful though but could be easily solved via training.
Is it tresspassing, though? Not trying to argue with you, to be clear. They're students paying tuition and housing fees. I guess I could see that arguement if they weren't students. Though I agree, civil disobedience and disrupting the status quo is the only way to get people to take notice and do anything.
Do we not have the right to protest? I fail to understand on what grounds they're being arrested.
Agreed. When I said "install," I meant everything, really. R&D, design, manufacturing, installation, etc. Even so, touchscreens are not a suitable replacement and never will be.
