ITT: Interfaces that lasted the test of time

>>59143176
Do you mean the keyboard? Was it invented by that?

>>59143270
That's almost the opposite in this case. They can't decide where to put shit. Unless we're only talking about a "rec" button.

>>59143270
I really like how shoulder cameras are designed, they feel so utilitarian.

>>59143315
>you need a phD to find anything on that
>utilitarian
pick one

>>59143280
the layout hasn't changed in decades dude

>>59143330
If you mean "where to put the microphone" or the lens etc. that's not interface, that's construction and it usually covers material necessities, not actual interface.

>>59143326
they're actually pretty simple once you know the menu system, and once you've learnt one, you've learnt them all.

>>59143326
What would you want? A touchscreen? Get real.

No, it's just that a professional tool that changes its inner interfaces so rapidly every brand or iteration is not tested in time, e.g. here is a professional tool that is more tested in time.

Worthless, a measure tape is enough.

IDK about that, it seems like every microwave I encounter is different, and less intuitive than the last.

Needs batteries. Need line of sight to target. Reflective surfaces can confuse it.

Retired film industry friend taught us to pull tape to get focus, this was on our old cams that didn't do focus peaking, but did give focus distance. Other friend thought he'd be all high-tech and shit by getting a laser measure. Shit didn't work the first time we tried it on set. Tape measure takes all of 5 seconds to pull, and you can drop it and not worry about fucking it up.

>>59143533
If you're going to troll you have to know the technology. The tape is shit compared to it when it can be used. Problem is it doesn't show the laser at all when there is bright light, e.g. in the sunlight.

>The tape is shit compared to it when it can be used.
Which will probably be 3% cases when someone needs to measure a space.
Is a laser measure useful? yes. Will it largely replace the tape measure? never.

I hated this design 15 years ago and I still hate it now. It does not fit ANY car interior, old or new, and yet every aftermarket stereo with rare exceptions looks like that.

>>59143190
the VT100 itself is pretty much the gold standard of terminals

>>59144738
Hrm. It's still used though. What design would you prefer?

>>59144771
Dead technology. Only used by memesters. Real programmers have moved to IDEs.

WTF. The multi-billion dollar company I work for has every single employee from the warehouse to the CEO using IBM AIX. Get a job dude.

>>59147288
Is that even an interface? A VT100 is mainly a form factor of screen right? Unless you mean the generic method of typing text and returning something on top which is literally everything called "terminal" ever.

>>59144761
You have to come back.

Or, alternatively, are becoming too integrated and complicated for modding. See modern Volvo radios, all fiber optic cables, hardware DRM and proprietary data protocols

I still mod them with different OP amps/caps or add higher voltage preouts. Or add new inputs and higher quality internals to older head units because vintage head units are beautiful.

fucking this. stayed a friends house when i was moving. he had had this fancy new microwave with crazy unintuitive buttons where the big green one was actually not OK.

also his electric hotplates had a hidden 5 second touch to unlock and then 5 button presses to get to high and then pots would trigger the buttons when you moved them.

His kettle and toaster were mind fucks too. Literally perfect modern marble kitctchen with the worst user interfaces i have ever seen in my existance. It still hurts my head when i think about them.

>>59143137
Why arnt there any aftermarket receivers that even remotely look like a factory unit?

Why not a 2-tone back lit lCD instead of this blue flashing nonsense?

Why make the volume knob 3 times as large as it needs to be, and every other button 3 times smaller?

Why have all the superfluous bullshit audio levels?

They design these things like they are marketing to an 8 year old in a toy aisle.

Oh the faceplate pops off? Like anyone was going to steal this piece of shit to begin with.

My 2005 Subaru Legacy GT had damn near everything integrated into the radio controls. My radio was also connected to my HVAC set up. So I could have gotten rid of the factory radio, but had no access to my heating or AC without ordering a Japanese market set up that split the radio and HVAC into 2 separate pieces. Shit was mad annoying because it only had a CD player.

Fucking dials are imprecise and then just get more imprecise as time goes by.
I had one of those when at Uni and man, was that a step back from the ones with buttons.
Plus most with buttons nowadays have the start button automatically set for 30s. Need 1 min? press it twice. 1:30, press it thrice. Getting annoyed? just put the time you actually want.

Actually bows were never that useful except maybe longbows during wars where you could spare hundreds of expensive arrows and arrowheads.

Slings were far more common and useful for hunting small game and even medium sized. A small bow wouldn't kill a deer with one hit anyway.

Throughout history, there have been far superior ways for throwing projectiles such as pic related.
