I have a 2nd gen Fire TV 4K Max gathering dust you can have. It's slow as fuck and barely faster than the first one. All Fire TV devices I've seen are slow, laggy, and shitty.
- IPv6 - It's 2023 and it's still not deployed correctly and universally. Github, Github Copilot, Chromium-based browsers, and Amazon Alexa give up in the presence of IPv6.
- DNSSEC+DANE - It's half-assed deployed but there's a lack of end-user UX
- wais - search before gopher
- afs - distributed fs
- discard protocol - basically, a network-based /dev/null
- humans.txt - Not around as much as it was
- makeheaders - Auto-generated C/C++ headers
- man page generators - ronn and help2man
- checkinstall - The automatic software package creator
- bashdb and zshdb
- crystal - Compiled Ruby-ish
- forth - Powered the FreeBSD bootloader menu for many years and word processors (typewriter-like almost computers)
- ocaml - The best ML, used by Jane Street and Xen
- pony - A language built around an arguably better GC than Azul's C4 with arguably stronger sharing semantics than Rust
- prolog - Erlang's grandpa
- rpython - PyPy's recompiler-compiler
- pax - POSIX archives
- shar - shell archives - Self-extracting archives that look like scripts at the beginning
- surfraw - Shell Users' Revolutionary Front Rage Against the Web - founded by Julian Assange
- step-ca - A Go-based PKI server
- dmraid - Because it works
- X10 - Before WiFi and IoT, there was the Firecracker: a parasitic power serial port RF outlet controller
- FreeBSD - It's not unknown or obscure per se, but it powers many important things in the civilized world without getting much credit
- :CueCat - A dotcom era barcode reader that was given away
- Xen - If you need to run a VPS but can't ju$tify u$ing VMware
- KataContainers - k8s but with VM isolation
- stow - software management by symlinks
- habitat - similar philosophy as nix but not as clean and functional and almost like Arch PKGBUILD but with more infrastructure around it
A published list of fees, while transparent, is a useless blizzard of data by itself.
One customer-useful approach would be a "dslreports.com" providing precise total average monthly bill amount for a specific address along with the breakdown.
Expecting mechanical accuracy from humans is a fool's errand.
ATC should be wearing VR goggles, visualizing approach and takeoff routing as it maps to flown with machines spotting the dangers similarly but differently from TCAS.
Hand-waving about "people" == "simpler" == "better" aside, read about TCAS.
Humans in the loop are a SPoF if they're there:
1. Solely to read information over a lossy, slow medium like analog radio. Digital data between ground and air systems should be the primary means of comms with voice radio as a backup channel for clarification and stating intent.
2. To flawlessly plan and avoid collisions between dozens of objects moving at high speed in 4 dimensions. Never going to happen. These should be done and verified mechanically, continuously.
Humans should be guiding and assisting mechanical, reliable automation of decision-making rather than playing telephone or doing long division on paper when calculators exist.
Note you can add a microusb USB hub, other USB devices including external storage, and Ethernet to most Fire TVs regardless.
