hfkfmtkrkf··on How Japanese technology shaped dance music
There are still new kinds of music created which reflect the contemporary music production software/hardware - look up "deconstructed club" genre as an example. It would be difficult to create this kind of music with 90s tools, since there is less regularity.

By camera software I actually meant the stuff running on the actual camera (firmware if you wish).

Where is my upload to Instagram feature for example? Why didn't they add this if they want to avoid needing a PC?

Drag a light color window (empty textpad) with a mouse very rapidly left and right across the dark desktop. You should see the tearing if you don't use a compositor. Tearing looks like the window is made of two unaligned halfs (top half and bottom half). With a compositor, the window is always perceived in one whole piece.

I assume the full window content is visible when dragging, not just a border rectangle as sometimes happens when the compositor is disabled.

Also, not everybody notices it, just like not everybody notices text with bad kerning or individual instruments and percussion elements in a song.

You can still be on the camera of the shop which sold you the sim card if they recorded the serial number.

While the Japanese are amazing at hardware, they seem totally incapable of building world class software.

No notable audio production software or soft synth plugins is Japanese, which is weird, considering that many of their synths are digital in nature (thus contain basically a soft-synth).

Same thing in cameras, Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Sony built amazing camera yet the camera software is basically stuck in the 90s, not to mention stuff like Instagram...
