Or when you have the audacity to take a picture with it

I would hope it's a special, heavy-duty kind at least.

I've seen an expensive microwave with a capacitive touch panel right above the door (and the door was the classic oven style, so attached by the bottom edge). If you ever had a phone with crappy moisture detection, you know where this is going.

You put your food in the microwave. Turn it on and let it heat the food up. Open the door, take the food out and close the door again. Congratulations, your microwave has probably just turned itself back on, because it detected the humid hot air rising from the briefly opened door as you touching the screen. And because most of the touch screen is "touchable", there's a pretty good chance this gust of humid air can successfully pick a cooking/heating mode and confirm it.

The microwave randomly navigating its own touch screen happened pretty much every time, passing all the menus and turning on was successful about 10% of the time.

In short, I wouldn't expect a microwave interface to have any thought put into it.

This is referring to the recent news about Google gaining huge market share. This new drop simply means there was no dramatic change and last month's data was flawed.

But it's made by ✨Google✨, obviously it's worth the superior manufacturing and quality assurance /s

Even Linux is slowly moving to an immutable system like Android. It is simply the best approach for an OS that non-technically-inclined people use - it's much harder to screw up beyond repair by accident - and clearly the future of operating systems (well, future for Linux at least, mobile platforms and maybe macOS are already there).

My two cents: the only time I had an issue with Btrfs, it refused to mount without using a FS repair tool (and was fine afterwards, and I knew which files needed to be checked for possible corruption). When I had an issue with ext4, I didn't know about it until I tried to access an old file and it was 0 bytes - a completely silent corruption I found out probably months after it actually happened.

Both filesystems failed, but one at least notified me about it, while the second just "pretended" everything was fine while it ate my data.
