keyboards: "wide" -> "ergonomic" -> "slim scissor"
mechanical keyboards: sculpted trapezoidal caps, long travel, loud; high potential efficiency yet unrealized (2024)
storage: "wooden wardrobe" -> "clothes stand with pockets" -> "telescopic shelf with boxes"
telescopic shelves exploit vertical space
dac: "lavry da11" -> "rme adi dac 2"
microphone amps: "røde" -> "steinberg"
steinberg adds power switch and simpler software
cameras: "nikon d300" -> "panasonic g7" -> "panasonic s4r"
nikon and panasonic output closest to perceived reality
sieves: "wire mesh" -> "paper filters" -> "flat steel sheet" -> "titanium sheet"
vessels: "steel cup" -> "porcelain pot, glass cup" -> "titanium pot and cup"
titanium neutral and robust; ceramics fragile; steel alters flavor

dual vertical yields four square windows
white cardboard boxes
mobile induction hotplate
powdered food (plenny, soylent, queal)
complete nutrition, space efficient, long shelf life, minimal appliances
external dac and headphone amp
