A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I mean ... I don't hate it...

Half of cars today have push-button shifters anyway, and the steering wheel is kind of a fun and novel place to put them.

Didn't need them because no one bought them.

I've been driving for years and I've never used my airbag even once. What a waste of money.

But it's a casino game...sometime in the future it will blow up in your face for no reason.
