It's an oversimplification, but first impressions do mean a lot. A lot of people will forever remember No Man's Sky as being a terrible game, even though they did do a lot to fix it later.

I mean it's not really. Lobbying. Lobbying is the reason.

In general I agree, but users should be able to make that decision themselves. I do not understand why you can't turn off telemetry, when it would be trivial to offer that option and so few users would bother to use it.

I'm kind of surprised that car technology is so awful. How the fuck am I paying $35k for a car and they're still like "lets run the UI off a potato via the least responsive touch screen possible"? At some point I'd rather they just gave up on providing a UX themselves and just ran everything through Android Auto.

Yeah, and shopping locally is so hit-and-miss. Some smaller stores are great, but there are also plenty that seem to act like serving you is such a fucking inconvenience. Oh I'm sorry you have to get off your phone because I want to buy something. You have to make change from £10? Sorry it's inconveniencing you that I have to bring fucking cash just because you want to dodge some tax by not taking cards.

Yeah, that seems like it would be a problem for a bunch of sites. Anything with rich text like Google Docs or somewhere you paste images to upload them seems like it could be broken by disabling all clipboard events.
