Came here to say this but you covered it pretty well! So I'll just leave this image of steel being "cut" under an electron microscope. You can see the deformation and change in structure.

Dang, that's a nice throwback.

TrueCrypt had/has that feature for full-drive encryption. But I don't think anyone serious uses them anymore due to the current code maintainers having some questionable allegiances.

Not sure if you count nonprofits, but the Braille Institute has Atkinson Hyperlegible

I've had tidal for the past few years and I'll never leave by choice. They even lowered their subscription price last year.

In a documentary with writers who worked with Roddenberry they said it was his design choice for all ships. Apparently warp nacelles are supposed to have 40% empty space between them for the warp field to generate. In Voyager they rotated up to exit the plane of the ship.

I read through that entire thing, saw Charles, and just skipped right over it. That's perfect though.
