In Electronics world? Bipolar junction Transistors. Easily.
This led into having portable devices we have today.
Back then people used vacuum tubes for switching and amplification; of which were very expensive to run (used a lot of power when idle, while having a very short lifespan of less than 48 hrs).
I mean, vacuum tubes where phenomenal when they came, allowed first long distance calls in 1915.
Look at my phone now, fits on my hands, and has billions of transistors!
Post script: lately I’ve been thinking, what if we remove cell towers as middle men? Because nowadays privacy is somewhat dead. People have been using radio frequency for walkie-talkies even before 1st generation communication (1G) was a thing.
Even right now, if you try to swallow saliva multiple times as fast as you can, consecutively; you will hit a “bottleneck” :)
Oesophagus, operates on a rhythm, of which is initiated by the back of your tongue (where tonsils hit)
But, oesophagus, having mind of its own (involuntary); does not accept initiated rhythm, if it’s “out of timing”
This “timing” is dictated by the way muscle contract and relax as they push saliva you just swallowed down into your tummy. Nasty yet brilliant ain’t it?
I’d outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don’t have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.
Just got an audience with the creator, gave you an opportunity to choose one organ to enhance/reduce its functionality; Cause apparently the creator can "grant your wish"...
Apple has refused to provide the calibration tool for the sleep sensor to independent repair people. A German repairman has beaten Apple and developed a calibration tool....
What's the most embarrassing thing about you?
To date, what do you think is the greatest invention or discovery and why?
Mine is the computer. I continue to be amazed at what we can do with them.
Was there ever a internet comment that actually really hurt you?
Lemmers, you just bumped to your high-school bully. What would you say to him (or her)?
Uum “My nose has seen better days”
Do you prefer the headphone jack to be at the top or at the bottom on a phone, and why?
Iphone users of Lemmy, people say not to trust you on tech insights. What say you?
Would like to hear your perspective on this
Developers on Lemmy, where can I get spicy projects?
Currently fluent with c++, not-java, spackles of rust, stilllearning golang....
Why can I sometimes not swallow if I wamt to?
Sometimes I malfunction and wamt to swallow but I cant. After a few tries it suddenly works. I usually bug when I breath heavily through my nose.
chmod -R hit me, again... Anyone else who faced these sys-admin woopsies?

2024 is here! What where your hinders in 2023, and how are you going to overcome them in 2024; reaching your personal/non-personal goals?
None of those generic stuffs; time, plans, yada yada Let it out
Okay movie-heads, what's your definition of a bad day
Reflecting to a character on a particular movie
What silly inconvinient stuff would you outlaw if you could?
I’d outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don’t have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.
The multi-platform frameworks (dart-flutter, react-native, etc), are they effective? To what extent? (lemmy.world)
Before judging ( which i knw you will 🤣), I’m new to mobile dev. Sooo “handle with care”?
What human power-ups/power-downs would you choose? Why?
Just got an audience with the creator, gave you an opportunity to choose one organ to enhance/reduce its functionality; Cause apparently the creator can "grant your wish"...
Let your weired flag fly!
What do you secretly, and weiredly enjoy doing? We will not judge 😊
Right to Repair - We beat Apple at their own game - let the unauthorized calibrations BEGIN! (www.youtube.com)
Apple has refused to provide the calibration tool for the sleep sensor to independent repair people. A German repairman has beaten Apple and developed a calibration tool....
This is the closest to best build i've seen so far. (m.youtube.com)
IMO, there is an imaginary line btn practicality and functionality of a build....

is it OSS? how can developers contribute to your project?
wondering on ways the community can contribute to help get this project up and running.
