Ever driven the same car or used the same camera or power drill for 8-10 years and thought: "I wish all these buttons and levers were suddenly in different places and did different things"?

@ptoothfish :spittake: God I laughed so hard at this. And then imagined mandatory drill upgrades that moved the power button each time. And then laughed some more.

@jacobrealo @virtualbri wouldn't it make drills and impact drivers more fun if forward and reverse were just random?

@ptoothfish say drill- and carmakers: "sry, our fault" and buld in obsolescence so they don't last 8+ years

@ptoothfish i post something to this effect semi-regularly and i almost always get pushback from people. It boggles me

@cascheranno @ptoothfish I mean this is pretty much what I *have* done because have you seen cars these days??? My 2009 Pontiac slowly rots on the street while I walk and bike because I am *not* buying one of these rolling enshittifications.
If it wasn't for the fact that I periodically have to drive appx 15-20 miles to see my family around a super busy interstate, I'd consider a golf cart for the times I have too much I can't just walk to the store.

@ptoothfish they should take it up with the english language authorities who most definitely treat the two words as effectively interchangeable

@ptoothfish At least that ten-year-old camera very much is still fully functional and can still take good pics, particularly if it's a decent SLR.
For example, the Canon EOS 5D II or Sony a900 are nearly 20-year-old SLRs and they're still very much respectable cameras by modern standards, at 21MP and 24.6MP respectively, and being full-frame on top of that.
