Everybody definitely doesn’t.

I don’t think I’ve found amazing things recently. Things worth using and things better than the alternative and things that are promising to maybe one day be great, yes.
But I’ll single out one little thing: dust. https://github.com/bootandy/dust
Dust is meant to give you an instant overview of which directories are using disk space without requiring sort or head. Dust will print a maximum of one ‘Did not have permissions message’.
Dust will list a slightly-less-than-the-terminal-height number of the biggest subdirectories or files and will smartly recurse down the tree to find the larger ones. There is no need for a ‘-d’ flag or a ‘-h’ flag. The largest subdirectories will be colored.
It’s like a killer combination of du and sort oneliners that actually shows me what I want to know: What’s the big stuff in this dir.
Depends on the machine and… maybe other things. I used to think that, too, but on my current machines I can step backwards just fine.
It’s probably a much more intensive operation requiring processing a lot of the file from before and throwing away current buffers or something.
don’t recall it having a cpu
So, what’s updating the display? Power supply imps?
Why did the reuse old master tapes?
Money. Or the perception that there isn’t money to be gained from the replication and maintenance of the archives.
Paper doesn’t last, is hard to store, and the information density is miserable.
There aren’t, really. There are a few antiques and half baked things.
A big problem is that these days, unless you’re the size of Apple or Samsung, it’s impossible to get a reasonable hardware soc and modem other than one which only runs a soon obsolete blob laden android which is going to be EOL before you’ve even finished your design.
The hardware is not there. The firmware/hw data/platform isn’t there even to begin OS work with. And there’s a global shipping, regulation and mobile operator hell waiting on the other side. And a product lifecycle that’s only a few years long.
Yes, I’ve worked for phone manufacturers.
It’s the stupid name.
I’m very much fine with that, too. I just think it was on the right on Sun keyboards. Either way, not the most common key but infinitely more useful than a caps lock.
They’ve probably all heard the speech at some point. Except those born at Zion.
But it’s the target audience (people who might subscribe to BBC notifications) as smart as a little 12 year old?
That’s what good link aggregators are for.
So, a little bit blursed.
Then you can give it to someone else to read or sell it and even more people can read it.
Having some kind of control signal available over wire would be nice, though. So the only way to dim lights wasn’t to turn them on and off again a hundred times a second. That would also enable timers and automatic lights for those who want them. Without clouds.
Caps lock is stuck in what is a great place for a modifier. Specifically ctrl. Compose can be somewhere to the right.
And there’s a lot of people in the world that effectively get told this all their life.
Some for things that aren’t even their choice.
