I'm a little bit old. When I ordered my first M.2 drive, I had never seen one IRL. I'd assumed about RAM-stick size. Nope! Thumb-sized! The future is amazing! So... give it enough time and eventually the mundane will scratch that itch, I guess?

If you don't communicate at a level suitable for your audience, then you're not communicating. At best, you're just making noise. At worst, you're being a manipulative sack of shit. I do not believe Meta are in the noise-making business.
