I think one thing that bothers me a lot with anything tech related is that while, yes, a lot of things can definitely have improved UX that is more user friendly, a lot of other things already have great UX that has been polished for years but gets a lot of undeserved criticism simply for being different from the status quo and/or requiring even the smallest amount of learning or effort
and I honestly entirely blame corporations that over the last 20 years have done everything to create walled gardens with the promise of "we do everything for you, if you have to think while using a computer that means it's bad"
and it's terrifying how well that worked on so so so many people
sometimes things just require you to sit down for half an hour, read something, learn something, try something you're not used to. that's normal. that is simply how anything even remotely advanced has worked for the thousands of years. you don't pick up an electric drill and throw a tantrum because it doesn't work exactly like a screwdriver. computers are a tool that let you do things, and just like any other tool, may require putting at least the smallest amount of effort into learning something
it's honestly frustrating how normalized "nuh uh i got adopted by [corporation's walled garden] and this is where i live for the rest of my life. anything even slightly different is just bad. why would I ever consider anything else, that's effort and effort is bad" has become
I understand that habits can be very strong, and I get it, adjusting to new things takes time, but it's not the end of the world. "more complex" doesn't necessarily mean "worse", it just means you would need to learn and adjust. teaching math at school doesn't stop at pre-algebra, it goes all the way to trigonometry and calculus because there's a good reason for it to be more complicated than the basics. learn something new, it's good for you.

Jumping bristletail or in this case the species Trigoniophthalmus alternatus, is a wingless insect of the family Machilidae. It is found throughout the northern Holarctic (excluding China) and undergoes virtually no metamorphosis during its life cycle. Insemination of females takes place indirectly. Males spin silken stalks on which they place droplets of sperm for females to pick up.

Aunque también hay algunos muy potentes para adultos. Especialmente los orientados a las tropas en las diferentes guerras.

The resplendent quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) is a small bird found in Central America. Males grow ostentatious tail feathers during mating season, that can reach up to one meter in length. Quetzal birds were considered sacred by the Aztecs and Incas, serving as a template for gods like Quetzalcoatl.
Or in short: They are very pretty to look at

I posted a video of one of my bricks streaming a low quality video of Doom a while back, but it turns out I never showed one doing it for real here.

The reason old recordings sound bad is not because of microphones, but early tape tech. Anything that wasn't a charcoal microphone was good enough for voice, even the first-gen thick-ribbon BBC-Marconi microphone.
After all, the SM58 has been around completely unchanged since the 60's.

Browsing through #stackoverflow and came across this gem::
"Library = A book library which has a whole system and staffs to manage books. API = A librarian who provides me a simple access to a book which I need."
I should get off while I can.

Tech folklore time. https://kh6htv.com/pspl-app-notes/
I founded Picosecond Pulse Labs (PSPL) in 1980 in Boulder, Colorado, USA. The company made ultra-fast risetime (5 ps) pulse & 40 Gbs pattern generators, 100 GHz sampling oscilloscopes, and ultra-broadband (flat responses from kHz to 60GHz) microwave components, including amplifiers. PSPL was sold to Tektronix in 2014. Tek laid off most of the staff and moved production from Boulder, Colorado to Beaverton, Oregon. A small handful of engineers remained in Boulder. Eventually, by 2019, Tek closed the Boulder office and discontinued the entire product line. Today, you can only find PSPL products on the used equipment markets, such as E-Bay.
