App, app, app, app, app… everything seems to need an app, how many apps can we install? Why? Can’t a washing machine or fan run a web server instead of needing another damn app? We can’t install an app for everything!

@gpowerf in the test world, where oscilloscopes and four quadrant power supplies cost as much as cars, everything has web servers and is controlled via Ethernet. But in the land of commodity cheap electronics, where they want you to have to look at their logo every time you use your phone, suddenly it's all apps.
