Seriously doubt anyone cares about old patent office dust at this point. Those stories stayed buried because they just weren't that important to how tech moved forward. Maybe the energy would be better spent on who's building new things right now instead of trying to rewrite old history that won't change anything. This feels like creating a problem to solve rather than filling a real need.

Right? "Full security sweep" is exactly what it was! I used to do the whole walk around the house, trying every window lock, shaking the back gate, even glancing in the shed. After a long day, it felt like a chore. Getting motion lights and a camera cut that down to checking my phone for 30 seconds. Best time save ever.

Read somewhere that the ritual mattered as much as the savings.
