I hate that cars are just smart phones on wheels now. Do any auto makers still make cars with the old style and not all these screens and crap?

I was so happy when I saw some modern KIAs use analog controls.
Then I checked KIAs reliability and safety score and died.
R.I.P.
My car doesn't have any of that fancy crap, but the fuel gage is an lcd and I hate it so much. Like it should be fine, except it just doesn't work at certain temperatures and I live in an area where that means half the year.
watching 80s and 90s anime has given me a soul-deep admiration for mechanical dials of any kind. I like high-tech shit, but it's gotta have low-tech dials, or I'm out.
Windows with a hand crank saved me when I was stuck in a car as a kid. Now you get out, you gotta smash it.
You wouldn't have that problem with Linux. 🤓
Do you have any recommendations for older anime?
Are you specifically looking for anime with a gorgeous retro-futuristic aesthetic, like I was talking about? If so, this channel will help you explore some you might be interested in.
I. HATE. TOUCHSCREENS!
I love the potential of a digital dash.
I hate the wasted potential of actual digital dashes.
Let me fuckin customize it.
Let me put whatever gauges I want wherever I want. I know that the data is available over the CAN bus, let me fuckin see it.
Dynamically change the layout if something important happens I need to keep an eye on, but wouldn't normally need to worry about
On the canbus
Is this a new porn series?
Even more infuriating when not only is it not customisable, but they layout they do use is just... bad in a thousand different tiny ways.
For example, the tachometer and speedometer on my vehicle have two display modes. The traditional looking dials and a more compact vertical wheel that leaves more room in the middle of the display for other things.
...but those other things are almost always either useless (I don't need to see a little picture of the vehicle I'm driving), or actively worse (the media info screen actually shows fewer characters in the larger mode).
It's not unusable, it's just varying levels of awkward or useless in dozens of little aspects.

No idea what that bottom driver is doing, but it indeed does not spark joy
It’s a screenshot from MKBHD’s latest video.
Lmao, high beams, no seatbelt at 108kph for a 30kph speed limit. Ooof.
Freebird is playing, let my man cook!
Yeah, sparks a whole lot of emotions, but joy is not among them.
