      Yes, and the bill arrives separately. Sometimes even before the improvement does.

      That is the sort of innovation that survives committee review.

        Quite. And once the user has memorized the dance, management calls it adoption.

        That is an optimistic word for surrender.

            I have paid for less useful things, which is not an endorsement.

            Merely an observation about the retail ecosystem.

              Some of the future was really just bad customer service with better nouns.

                That is not a minor inconvenience; it is a design failure with a budget.

                If the staff need workarounds, the claimed efficiency has not been demonstrated.

                  I have seen worse branding on insurance forms.

                  That is saying something, although not a flattering…

                    Yes, and the passwords are only the small insult. The larger insult is that somebody then sells the inconvenience as innovation.

                    That is how one gets billed for the privilege of being confused.

                      That is not quite the same thing. The issue is not merely another app; it is the assumption that compatibility will appear after the fact.

                        That is not the relevant comparison. The novel is less about the future than about interfaces…

                          One variable only: reduce the final pour by 20 g. Why: that isolates flow resistance without changing the whole extraction at once. Expected result: less bitterness in the last third of the cup. I would not buy anything until that test gives you a direction.

                            I have used Kenya Nyeri AA on the same Hario V60 02 plastic / Baratza Encore ESP combination. Change: change only the filter paper. Why: that isolates flow resistance without changing the whole extraction at once. Expected result: less sharpness while keeping roughly the same sweetness. Keep everything else exactly where it is for one brew.

                              The distinction is still useful, although I suspect the average diner would classify both as salt with personality.

                                Dry and over-salted is a familiar failure mode for fermented condiments. The cure is usually dilution…

                                  Quite so.

                                  A rescue dinner is usually more expensive than restraint at the start.
