Adrian Egger<p>This is my favourite key fob for our car. It’s small and waterproof, perfect to take running.</p><p>Sadly, Volvo decided to include some <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/assholedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>assholedesign</span></a> here. The case is glued shut and breaks when attempting to open. The standard CR2032 cell battery is spot welded to the terminals.</p><p>The lifespan of these is 1-3 years, after that it’s trash. A new fob costs €130, plus the €100 or so the dealership charges to click a button to pair the new key. </p><p>Screw that. It’s not pretty, but this works.</p>

CaveDave<p>Why is it that whenever I try to fix a mobile device, there's always a screw (or more) which is drilled on too tight and easily gets stripped? </p><p>I swear they use shit screws like these on purpose just to deter normal users from trying to fix things themselves</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plannedobsolescence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plannedobsolescence</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/assholedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>assholedesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/anticonsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anticonsumption</span></a></p>

Tio<p>Thank God that companies are now starting to become more environmentally conscious!</p><p>100% recycled paper.

I mean, they are at least trying!</p> <p>I find it so hard to take this idiocracy of a society seriously. I think it is me who is in the wrong here, trying to think that this society can become sane.

Ketil Froyn<p>These long lists of options to "Manage your data" when one simply wants to visit a website are such a pain. They are designed to induce fatigue, so people will just accept whatever. Who the hell reads all these options and enables a selected few cookies in thoughtful agreement?</p><p>If these popups are going to be required, a "reject all" button should also be enforced in an equally prominent position as "accept all".</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/assholedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>assholedesign</span></a></p>
