This. It needed absolutely nothing added to it. You could write text files, what more did anyone ever need from it? The app was done. It was ready.

This is a concept that is not even in the vocabulary of IT companies these days and I can understand it for complex systems that have dependencies up the wazoo but notepad was just a notepad and that was good enough.

I wish there even was a popcorn button, that at least somewhat implies what it’s for. D:

My current microwave has too damn complicated controls and is full of unnecessary features for me to actually know how to adjust the power so I just go with full power, with 30 second increments because I don’t have the degree necessary to understand anything else. It’s like trying to fly a damn airplane, except worse.

My old microwave had just two dials: one for time, one for power. That was the peak of microwave technology and we should all go back to it. A microwave doesn’t need to do ANYTHING else than just shoot fucking radiation to anything that is put inside it, I don’t know why the hell do they add all these random buttons and just add a picture of a fucking carrot or some shit on it like it’s universally understood what that even fucking means.
