Yeah, sub-par examples but you have to agree that progress in X-Files came at a crawl with Scully and Mulder taking like three seasons to even realise the Cigarette Smoking Man was important. In hindsight I can’t remember much about Jericho. I’ll just let it stand there.
If Generation Kill is HWTF then NCIS is HFY too 😎 But don’t ask me what Seinfeld or Little Britain is.
I found out someone else had a similar story many years before me: https://lemmy.world/post/131069
That was my second HFY story and the first one I actually put some effort in. Image my stupid face when it hit 3000+ upvotes on Reddit in less than one day… upvotes on Reddit really make no sense :-)
Just to mention: The current MARS rover is using a Raspberry Compute Module 3. Several modern space probe also use off-the-shelf technology. Most Ukrainian drones use it too. The IRIS-T missile uses a 1.0Ghz Quadcore ARM. The times when such systems required extreme technology are far gone.
