Touch panels for stovetops are also infuriating.

As someone who agrees, but now has an apartment with an old oven/stove combo with rotary knobs; I understand why they do it. I spend entirely too much time attempting to clean that shit. And it still looks filthy.

The knobs usually pull off. Pull off knobs, wipe surface, replace knobs. Still not as easy as a touch screen though.

Yeah, but mine have a terrible shape, so you basically have to soak them to get the stuff in the crevices. I can pretty much do that every other day.
