Apple's "Clean Design" Is Stupidity When It Comes to Hiding Fire Extinguishers

    Reminds me of tesla.

    No turn signal stalks, instead rotating buttons on the steering wheel. No PRND stalks either. Critical controls hidden on touchscreen behind look-then-swipe nonsense.

    Also funny is the same nonsense apple has done between mouse scroll wheel movement direction and "natural" touchpad direction. Tesla's old PRND stalk was down for forward, up for reverse. New cars have touchscreen only gear select, and it is UP for forward, DOWN for reverse.

      I kind of like the touchpad scrolling nonsense..

      Tesla’s designs and software updates though are why I’ll probably never own one of their vehicles.
