Nearly all existing media (radio, songs, TV, movies, YouTube videos, ...) will eventually lose its appeal, as (for new born people at least) it will effectively be in a foreign language, that uses a completely separate mode of communication. You can't share Back to the Future with anyone new anymore.

But all of Star Wars gets a remaster with a CGI light-speech dub.

Huh. I think it was just the web version of Lemmy. Weird choice by the Lemmy devs.

Why does the majority of your post read like you don't know these exist? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_power_connector

They're fine, but as you mentioned in the first paragraph, lack of a standard is their main drawback. You could find two power supplies with the exact same connector but different voltage and polarity.

Surely health insurance would be making a loss on this particular person.

All thermometers are atom-based.
