This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

shoving in more and more modules is not what pushes technical progress.

How are better photos not pushing technical limits?

Shoving more cores in cpus barely helps either because most algorithms are single threaded. There's nothing else that can be done because of technical limitations. But no one is angry their phone has 8 cores instead of 1.

I personally love the periscope camera in my Pixel. It gives me 5x optical range without having to carry a camera around. The wide angle lens is also great at Thanksgiving/ Christmas/ Birthday dinners when you want to get everyone in the photo. Pinch zoom out and everyone is in the photo.
