In a Voyage

                Since 2020, I've taken on a Steve Jobs alter-ego (on a very, very part time basis, and often for humor purposes ). The first essay I wrote wasn't even related to hardware, or solar powered-conscious operating systems that began around the same time. It was actually about one of my former jobs, regarding Knowledge Bases. Using one every day, I thought there had to be a better way to integrate steps taken into a ticket management system, to show proof of work. I won't say which system and which company, since it doesn't matter. I thought back at the time, where else did someone care so much about not only user experience, but the employee's experience?

I'm also not referring to AutoPlay, which I also disable on all my devices that I'm logged into. I'm aware there are countless extensions that allow smartbuffering, some which are great on browsers that still support extensions (or aren't routinely filtered by Chrome, which is owned by the same company as Youtube). ...
