1 month agoNot just air-tight, lighter-than-air-tight. I’m not sure if it’s true for the whole set of lighter-than-air gasses, but helium is infamously difficult to keep from leaking, even with modern technology.
Good at making gasses behave is a weird choice for ancient technologies we lost.
It’s somewhat bizarre to me that the settings menu isn’t just a reskinned control panel that either launches the new or old items depending on what they’ve finished so far.
I can’t imagine what they’ve done is easier than rewriting control panel items in full one by one.
You can do a halfway decent job of modernizing just by having an “advanced” toggle that shows the more arcane/less used settings.
I understand the desire to race towards a minimum viable product and get the core functionality into the glossy new thing, but they already had a minimum viable product in the control panel.
