This is totally off topic, but this made me think of it for some reason... Remember when computers had turbo buttons? What a fun concept. I wish my MacBook Pro had a physical button on there to knock it into ass-kicking mode.
I think the world would be a more perfect place if everything had turbo buttons. Internet too slow? Hit the turbo link button to 10x your download speeds for 30 seconds. ChatGPT prompt sucks and just isn’t getting it? Turbo that sucker and watch it prompt you instead. Food is taking too long at the restaurant? That’s right, turbo. JVM takes too long to spin up? Probably no turbo there, that’s never gonna get solved.
I believe the intention of those was that it was actually a "slow down" button just with enhanced marketing. But when you played an old game which was designed with no frame limit cap, you could slow the game down to a playable speed with the button.
Unfortunately, I had no such button on the family computer, so many games were unplayable because of our speedy 486SX33
