If it’s not cross platform I’m barfin

I hate that so many devices try hard to obscure filesystems even though they are right there, right under the hood. I remember how ridiculous it was to try and browse an iPod as the hard drive it was. They copied your files into an indecipherable file tree with weird names. If companies aren’t trying to keep you from copying shit then they’re thinking you’re too dumb to understand files and folders and putting some other weird UI on top of them to make them “user friendly”.

And thusly, they made kids unable to understand file browsers/systems :'(

I was turned off Sony products somewhere around 1998.

Honestly why the fuck is simplicity avoided now? Every product wants to be the most complicated shit ever, and therefore fails constantly. This device illustrates that simplicity means less failure. Awesome post.
