I was involved with a project to decomission a low code on premise platform (Sharepoint 2013). What we found was there was a lot of user enthusiasm to create stuff but when the platform was end of life and had to be decomissioned the users enthusiasm melted away.
The "IT" dept had to spend a fortune re-validating the user requirements for the various applications, documenting and then converting them into a new platform. Obviously a lot of feature creep and previously accepted bugs (no longer accepted now that responsibility was no longer theirs).
A lot of the applications were frankenstein efforts from people over the years - lots of dead code no longer used, no docs etc. As others have mentioned people create mission critical stuff for their project or team, and then leave or be away on extended leave and it breaks etc.
I have a bunch in the roof cavity to monitor for roof rat incursion. They have been going for about 3 years now.
I found the Blink camera was the best for a battery camera in terms of startup on PIR detection. In comparison my newer Eufy and Arlo cameras take a second or two (sometimes more) and have much less battery life.
The downside on the Blink is that you have to buy high end lithium AA batteries
I grew up with the physical set. My parents even lashed out on the micropaedia and macropaedia 12 book set. Which had very handy articles beyond the normal Britannica. It was like having the internet in those days.
In retirement my dad took to correcting the Britannica- ie fixing facts or crossing out entire debunked articles.
15 years ago when I was changing jobs one of the roles was Sun Microsystems - which I liked the company but the role was to suggest and be embedded in a company and embed Sun products into every project (and I assume prevent competitors). Did not take it.
Most countries don't give the USA carte blanche access to their citizens criminal history unless it is in their interests to declare (I base this on observations of people who have past criminal convictions yet still get ESTA approvals and travel to the USA). However, the USA may have become aware of something that they previously were not aware of.
