Depending on the device it's a safety issue, too. It should literally be illegal for cars to have touchscreen controls that the driver is meant to interact with while driving.

Tom Paris is that you?

Nothing like having to unlock your phone and wait for it to reload the app just so you can turn down the volume. And good luck doing that if you're having network issues.

TV companies can hide them in the back, so that is a design problem.

Yep. Both of my TVs have controls on the back. One has the traditional row of up/down/channel/volume/etc buttons like you'd expect, another has four buttons with a little joystick in the middle that lets you navigate the menu system. Both work fine, well enough that I can change the inputs and the volume without fumbling through menus.

OP if your problem with buttons is looking at them, they figured out the solution to this back in the 70s: don't put them on the front of the TV. TVs have been made with buttons on the top, bottom, and sides for literally decades, and with flat screens the back is perfectly fine, too.

A TV without buttons is a dealbreaker for me. If I can't control it without the remote I'm not gonna be happy.

Nothing that private, or they'd have already been pitched in the shredder. It's just old family movies mostly, already digitized and saved away.

Once I get rid of the camcorder I won't have anything that can use the tapes. I won't have any use for the tapes. They may as well go with it.

That is not the end goal. I want the tapes to still be usable.

Got any recommendations?

"SECURE YOUR NETWORK DIPASS"

This was back in the days when routers defaulted to no encryption with a stock password for the UI. Also I was the one who changed random people's SSID to that when I found an unsecured network.

Masayoshi Takanaka - The Rainbow Goblins. Well, that's an album, but the whole album is fire.
