May i make an analogue here. Old school cars used to have carburators. We used to change the needles in them to adjust for high altitude, and they frequently needed the air/gas ratios adjusted. Then the timing chain advance had to be set for the spark to be fired into the cylinder at the right time. If the gas was poor or if the weather sucked the car ran poorly.
modern cars use knock sensors, computer control fuel injectors, computer controlled spark firing mechanisms. They continuously adjust for weather, pressure, temperature, fuel quality to maximize the engines operation under any condition. You don’t even know this is happening.
I want that. something that obsoletes the old mechanical water timer and brings me to the fuel injection era. I feel we are at the throttle body state, not quite there yet with fully computerized car injection.
For those who want the expert mode, just like in cars there are expert modes for you. Typically only used by the 1%'ers and almost always as an afterthought. I applaud you, but i want the effortless automation whenever possible that gets me to 98%. Right now i feel i get to 75% with automation, but it takes real effort.
I hope my analogs makes sense. I’m a bit of a car guy too…
