Reply to comment by Kurotan in In-Car Climate Control Design: How It Has Gone Backwards and How to Fix It by nastratin
people complain -- but the real cause of this shitfest of control is this: engineering as a discipline continues to slide to new lows. a long time ago, engineering was about efficiency, doing more for less. efficiency in communication, efficiency in time. but now Apple with Iphones has fudged the whole philosophy -- its all about fuck the consumer make it hard for them and charge them more anyway. fuck efficiency. and this philosophy has spread everywhere. into car design and manufacturing, into hairstyles, into teslas etc etc. humanity is doomed.

That’s because Engineering is subservient to Finance. It’s just how our entire economy is structured. Money is what matters. I see, and bitch about it, every day.
