The modem brands I still remember are Zyxel and US Robotics.

Finder: Cmd+Shift+G to navigate wherever I want (with autocomplete)

Text input: Control+Command+Space for the emoji list and search

Text input (switching keyboards for Japanese input): Control+Space for quick toggles

Text input (accents in my native language): all the accents and letters of various European languages are usually made by using Option+[key] for the accent, and Option+[key]+letter for the proper letter. The [key] maps are e -> ´, `` -> `` (I'm messing up the rendering of the quotes here despite my best efforts), i -> ˆ, u -> ¨ and some keys Option+[key] directly give a character when it's unique, such as Option+a=å and Option+o=ø, and Option+1=¡ (because it's the key for ! otherwise, which makes sense - and can help with Spanish)

For the longer examples, Option+e+e = é, Option+e+a = á, Option+`+a = à, Option+u+u = ü, Option+i+u = û, Option+n+n = ñ, etc.

Holding Option in menus also shows extra options and their shortcuts (although this is less and less the case outside of the Apple apps themselves). An example using Finder -> Edit and pressing/releasing the Option key[1]

Oh and one more: the app "Stickies", which allows you to have "post-it notes" with color coding and collapsing the note by double-clicking on the title, saving to file, etc. I use it to take quick notes or set casual reminders.

Last but not least, not an Apple app but a very helpful tool I've used to make the gif in this post: Kap is incredibly convenient to records bits of the screen and save to various formats, and it's been improving a lot since its early releases[2] (I have no stake in this, I'm just thankful for such a cool piece of free software)

Seeing this question asked makes me sad. If you are browsing this on Linux then you're probably using code descended from Netscape which was developed by a guy called Zawinski on an SGI Indy.

Or if you have seen a movie, then all the special effects are descended from work done on SGI machines.

If you have fuel in your car, the oil field was probably originally found after running seismic analysis on an SGI. They were famous for their movie work but Oil & Gas was actually a far bigger market for them.

If you have flown anywhere, the pilot was trained on a simulator descended from technology developed by SGI.

If you program C++ then STL comes from SGI. As does the XFS filesystem.

If you have seen a weather forecast on TV, that probably was done on a Cray, who for a while were owned by SGI and who developed a lot of their tech. Many TV stations used SGIs to render the forecast on the green screen behind the presenter too.

If you have played Nintendo, the MIPS processor in it was developed by SGI. If you play games on PC, OpenGL was developed by SGI.

They were once one of the most influential computing companies in the world. Now they are merely a legend, and a fading one at that :-(

I wonder what the titans of the industry- Ford, Toyota, Kia, Honda, and so on think about this. ICE cars are complex marvels of engineering, but electric cars are quite simple compared to them. You slap a set of electric motors to a body and add a battery and some furnishings. Most complex system is the ECU and driving systems, which are all electronic and software.

Makes me wonder if we'll see a Samsung car (considering Samsung makes Fighter Jets, Tanks, and other heavy industry products)
