    I suppose that’s fair, though it does seem to plague tech particularly. Or maybe it’s just that tech is more public-facing about its nonsensical names and designations for shit.

      None of this is nonsensical though.

      • Adafruit - brand name; meaningless in any industry.
      • ESP32-S3 - product code; random numbers in any industry.
      • Reverse - screen is on the back.
      • TFT - Abbreviation for the display technology.
      • u.FL - Abbreviation for the antenna type.

      You could easily have something like that about e.g. mountain biking:
