Finally. Are they actually hiring decent UX folks this time or are they using the people who designed 1980s VCR programming UIs again?
did 80s VCRs even have OSD? we went from a top loading National to a hi-fi so basically skipped the 80s. and 90s VRC UX would be perfectly acceptable as far as I'm concerned.
They mostly didn't have OSDs, they instead had indecipherable 7-segment and some fixed elements like 'Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa', with 2 or 3 buttons. The younger Gen-X/older Millennials got their reputation as 'whiz kids' in part by handling those interfaces on behalf of their mystified parents.
80s and early 90s designed the best dashboards. Change my mind mf.
