What’s a piece of obsolete tech you still miss?

This page is a permanent link to the reply below and its nested replies. See all post replies »
optical disc drives as standard equipment in laptops (along with multi-card readers)

and more generally laptops not being in a race to the bottom to be ultra thin, like the older generation of ThinkPads where the lid actually locked into the base and still had more of the "bento box" aesthetic were preferable to the current generation of ThinkPads ... soldering batteries onto the motherboard is also just stupid, any device's battery should be replaceable ...

... we're on a bad trend in general of electronics becoming disposable now, even LED lamps that have a built-in bulb which cannot be replaced, you're really supposed to just throw an entire lamp into the landfill when he bulb goes out?!?!

phones without AI hardware integrated (and integrated to a level you can never fully disable AI features) were preferable to this current AI hellscape too

@ThirstenHowl True .. and strictly driven by corporate greed

@BrandNewMan Not necessarily strickly. They still wanted to resurrect the whole half choo German painter with a chip on his shoulder for being canceled just for pointing at the globalists.

And of course each and every authoritarian and self hating idealists wet dream of executing genocide amidst all the chaos and culling their own people.

That's the real lie about it. The devil that pretends they're the angel.

@SteelHands That has what exactly to do with making a laptop you can't replace a battery or lamp you can't replace a bulb on? This response seems highly unrelated.

@BrandNewMan Claiming that you cannot figure it out and already knowing and going along with the progrom are impossible to discern.

It seems. This is why collectivism is not so different from complete ignorance.

Edit: the original poster has deleted this post. And so I was forced to reply to your final reply by editing here.
I'll consider that if ever you come to one of my comments again thinking I want you to speak to my comment, and from now on know that you are only interested in trolling. Which I am not. Ever.

Have a nice day🙂

@SteelHands It is rather incoherent drivel in regard to the subject of the post .. nothing to really bother figuring out about it. So .. save the smug attitude for somebody who cares what you think. I clearly don't.

@ThirstenHowl I agree!

Though would point out electrical and electronic scrap should never be consigned to landfill sites, but their materials recovered. Whether that's feasible may depend where you live, of course.
