And then there are companies that take good designs and engineering, and quietly scuttle them to be replaced with something far crappier. Why? To sell more of course. I’m looking at you, Whirlpool.
Not sure you can say the Playstation controller was “impossible to improve”:
1995:
1997: (Dual Analog, no rumble)
1997: (Dualshock):
2000: (Dualshock 2):
2006: (SIXAXIS - Sony lost a rumble lawsuit and removed rumble as a feature):
2007: (Dualshock 3 - Rumble lawsuit settled):
2013: (Dualshock 4):
2020: (Dualsense)
2023: (Dualsense Edge):
Impossible is hiperbole.
The paperclip can definitely be improved. It’s just that the way it is now is good enough, and the improvements aren’t probably not worth it.
Edit: Also, I don’t think I agree with some of his points. The design has to be ubiquitous? Why?! I can build one thing, never sell it or distribute it, and try to improve it until I can’t improve it anymore.
And he mentioned that the Sunbeam toaster could not be the de facto design today because back then it was expensive. Yeah, you know what was also expensive at the beginning? Hard drives. He ignores that manufacturing improvements make building things cheaper.
And a couple of more things. I decided to stop watching after a few minutes.
Dog bone paperclips for vet offices and dog fans:

😂😂 Lol fantastic!

There are multiple paperclip designs, and I even use one of them (besides the “normal” one). But when I looked it up I found it was from 1902… It holds many more pages, tho.
I would make half the clip nest into the other half that way they will still be flat but they wouldn’t be able to hook into each other and not turn into a paperclip 🖇️ wad
I think you shared the wrong link.
