Yello ! Confessions blog admin on his personal blog here. (Because I can’t send in a non anonymous ask with a sideblog)
Once before I came to my blog‘s community with a question regarding black tech and what defined it besides just pre 2000s tech. And today I’m coming to yours with my own take that I since developed for writing !
I personally headcanon that black tech is any non magical technology that utilizes interfaces and carries binary information ! (Computers phones etc)
I based this heavily on the factor that the backyard is a space infinitesimally dense with information and it is the birthplace of the universal will which caused the banning of black tech
It would make sense to me that this being born of information took control of the information that the global computer network was transmitting constantly.
This allows for further headcanons too ! What if the increase in information transmitting technology prompted the universal will‘s emergence ? Or what if, the momentary weakness of computer systems as they recomputed the 99 variable to a 0 (remember the Y2K panic was based around this potentially not working) allowed for it to break through into our world
Frankly, it also makes more sense for it to not just be all tech, imagine if your light switch was evil suddenly and just decided to piss you off by flickering your light on and off… it’s a bit too nonsensical
Although I will admit this isn’t perfect, there were so called „black tech guns“ which… are just normal guns… unless gunpowder can sing you a song in the guilty gear universe I doubt they hold much information. But that could be explained either by malicious law making or simply overzealous bans due to not knowing the limits of what the universal will could possess
Anywho love me some fantasy that hides sci fi in its backstory :) that’s why arknights has some of my favorite worldbuilding but that’s a whole different topic :P

Kenyan inventor Roy Allela, 25, created Sign-IO gloves to translate sign language into audible speech, bridging communication for the deaf.
Sign-IO gloves, with finger sensors, connect via Bluetooth to an app, translating sign language into vocal speech.
Young inventor, also at Intel and teaching at Oxford, introduced gloves at rural special needs school, aiming for wider accessibility.

Emmett Chappelle’s journey from NASA to the Goddard Space Flight Center culminated in the creation of a new technique that helps scientists discover life on other planets.
By researching creatures like fireflies that emit light naturally in a chemical process called bioluminescence, Chappelle discovered that a combination of chemicals causes all living organisms to emit light, according to NASA.
Like other Black inventors, Chappelle never backed down from a challenge.
From Arizona to the stars
Emmett Chappelle was born in Phoenix, Arizona, on October 24, 1925, to cotton-growing and cattle-raising parents. He received a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from the University of California.
After a brief stint as an instructor in biochemistry at the Meharry Medical College in Nashville, TN., he received a master’s degree from the University of Washington in Seattle.
From there, his journey took one giant leap forward. After serving as a research associate and scientist for the Research Institute of Advanced Studies at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., Chappelle began working directly at NASA in the 1960s. There he supported the organization’s manned space flight missions while fellow Black genius Katherine Johnson calculated flight trajectories–by hand.
Using this technique, he was able to detect the presence of bacteria in urine, blood, spinal fluids, drinking water and foods, according to the National Inventors Hall of Fame. The presence of bacteria is a strong indicator of life, and exobiologists today are able to more easily detect the presence of living organisms thanks to Chappelle’s discovery.
Emmett Chappelle: Connecting Earthlings to life on other worlds
For 34 years Chappelle worked at the Goddard Space Center, where he received 14 patents. He’s been recognized as one of the top 100 Black scientists and engineers of the 20th Century and has received numerous awards for his work.
“I really enjoyed my time at Goddard,” Chappelle after being notified of his acceptance into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. “The people made it a great place for me to do my research, and I really appreciated that NASA recognized the importance of my work.”
When asked what he missed the most about working at Goddard he simply responded, “The people.”
Chappelle retired in 2001 and passed away in 2019. He’s survived by his daughter and son-in-law, who live in Baltimore.
I need a black app developer software engineer pretty please

In the eyes of entrepreneur Abbey Wemimo, there’s nothing he feels he can’t overcome.
That’s because he knows what it’s like to have very little, compete with the best and still come out on top. His winning secret, is simply knowing his stuff.
“They can rip everything away from you,” the 27-year-old executive said to Atlanta Black Star, “but they can’t rip your mind.”
