I don't know the details but building upon previous research is the foundation of the scientific method. Additionally, the scales were probably not named like that by the authors.

But... but we have LLMs now! They are going to save us and the economy... right?

Note that this was an exaggeration of my experience with LaTeX, it's not like I use these commands everywhere. I think its better to let LaTeX do its job. Nevertheless, looseness=-1 can help to cram a few words in a new line into the previous paragraph, which subjectively looks better sometimes and frees up some space. Negative vspace around figures or tables can also be used to make more space for text and avoid unwanted page breaks. Manual linebreaks can come in handy if you switch TeX engines (e.g. pdfTeX -> LuaTeX) and somehow things don't look like they are supposed to look. You can do it right or you can add manual linebreaks here and there to get the same results.

LaTeX and the wonderful world of \looseness=-1, manual linebreaks and negative vspace

(but it's still leagues ahead of word)

Imagine the single USB C port being 40Gbit/s or even 80Gbit/s (USB 4 Version 2). Given a nice docking station and some additional enclosures, you could technically even connect hard drives and run the phone as a low-power NAS. Or/and as a multimedia station for your 4K TV, I mean the integrated GPUs are usually more than capable enough.

A bummer that they stick to USB 2 speeds, even for most high end phones.
