    And then there are companies that take good designs and engineering, and quietly scuttle them to be replaced with something far crappier. Why? To sell more of course. I’m looking at you, Whirlpool.

    Not sure you can say the Playstation controller was “impossible to improve”:

      Bold move including the model that regressed on features as an “improvement.” lol

    Impossible is hiperbole.

    The paperclip can definitely be improved. It’s just that the way it is now is good enough, and the improvements aren’t probably not worth it.

      There are multiple paperclip designs, and I even use one of them (besides the "normal" one). But when I looked it up I found it was from 1902... It holds many more pages, tho.

      I would make half the clip nest into the other half that way they will still be flat but they wouldn’t be able to hook into each other and not turn into a paperclip 🖇️ wad
