Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

MODERATORS
Also a corporate engineer. I put faith in corporations wanting to avoid lawsuits. Assuming you don't have an insane billionaire calling the shots, the suits will make sure things are as safe as they need to be to avoid losing money.
Touchscreens in cars are a great example of this. It's not a safety-critical component (like steering or brakes). The negative safety impact can be argued away in court. So the suits give touchscreens the a-okay. But if there's a hint of a problem with steering, braking, or ECM, management will be in full support of a proper fix.
Not that they'd manage to avoid messing up wireless towing, but as long as there's financial incentive in doing things right, management will fight for it.
