Sure. Now organize updating the last 30 years of hardware and software for compatability. Or just keep using the slightly unintuitive thing.
You’re conflating two different definitions of “standard”. URLs are more human readable than IPs, but changing IPs into URLs would cost decades of manpower and break everything for basically no benefit either.
Eh. :P
I mean sure it’s kind of a relic from the 90s, but so is the save icon. If you change it you’re breaking backwards compatibility with everything tangentially related to digital cameras prior to <current year>. A ‘photos’ folder might be more intuitive but then you run into the issue of “what about my language’s folder” instead of just everyone worldwide using DCIM.
Sometimes its better long term for people to learn about a standard instead of for the standard to be more intuitive to newcomers. Sure you could just make a new standard but that’s its own problem.
It’s a DCF thing, not a Windows thing. A bunch of Japanese companies collaborated on a spec in the 90s so most digital cameras would work vaguely the same as far as file storage went and it’s still the standard because it’s a naming convention and there’s not really a reason to change it.
Even if quantum computing turns out to actually be infeasible and classical cryptography is secure for the next millennia, it’s still a good feature to have a third independent encryption layer in the protocol. It makes it that much less likely reliant on the other two being bulletproof.
Dude history class was boring. “Good one” status is binding don’t you know that? /s
I just have a basic pilots license (PPL) but a lot of rural airports it’s normal to cancel radar services (IFR / flight following) when you have the airport in sight because there’s no tower and you’re making location callouts on the airport frequency in case there’s traffic nearby. ATC can and will ask to let you go without if they’re busy or whatever as well.
Especially in mountainous areas radar/transponder coverage can be pretty spotty unless you’re pretty high up or near a larger airport.
Smells like any other random conspiracy theory.
