>>>"...increasing use of on-off toggles instead of checkboxes"
One of the most egregiously angering thing to me is toggles that self un-toggle:
"Disconnecting Bluetooth Until Tomorrow"
WHAT?
I literally just commanded the device to turn something off which required me to pick it up, unlock it with a biometric identification, navigate to the settings containing the option I want to control with my physical hands, look at the screen, read the results for the object I want. Make the decision to turn a thing off. Do so by physically touching the device and adjusting the setting - not the Device says
"Oh you want that off? More than for just a little bit? Well, I'll have you know that we use your Bluetooth radio for a lot of our data tracking systems, so its important to us that its on - so we've coded your device's operating system to only allow you to turn off your Bluetooth radio temporarily so you feel like you're in control of it. Why? Because Fuck You Thats Why. Now go back to browsing reddit"
