So, when I say fifty years isn't a long time for tools, I'm saying that everything since code was run on the first microprocessor barely counts as a tool in my book, they just aren't stable enough yet.
Which brings us to my main point.
Appliances, specifically appliance grade computing.
A bit of history.
On September 5, 1977,
the Voyager 1 hardware
was yeeted towards interstellar space.
Four years later, in 1981, the backup S-band portion of the communications hardware was shut off.
In October of 2024, after a partial degradation of the primary X-band communications interface, the backup S-band communications automatically came back online due to the fault, after a period of 43 years offline.
THAT is appliance-grade engineering.
