@coolboymew I’m just annoyed at how little graphics are improving compared to the price of the hardware they expect you to have now. It’s like I’m only paying for better hardware because devs are getting worse at optimizing their games and not because it actually looks better.

@che5hire I'm just not talking about games either. For games, the Switch and Steam Deck were probably the "coolest" tech in a while

Otherwise, I'm talking about anything else. I'm looking at the shopping channel tech sales and it's lame AF.

Tablets are just bigger phones and they're pretty useless.

I don't need a laptop, I have a desktop.

Apple watch, it's ludicrously expensive

Fitbit, also expensive, use their shitty app, oops gotta login :))))))) and they'll probably sell your data

Lmao what is this scam, just put Linux in a USB stick bruh

There's just like nothing fucking cool like you saw in the 90s/00s and in LGR videos, it's all streamlined garbage that will steal your data

@coolboymew I mean in addition to it being a privacy minefield I guess window shopping is way less enjoyable when you have your own budget and already own a ton of tech already. Even as someone who needs a laptop I’m still rocking an almost 10 year old thinkpad which I’ll probably only replace when I physically can’t use it anymore.

I do kinda miss a lot of gimmicky stuff from the past tho like those CD burners that also burned labels. They probably sucked but it would be cool if there was a “game cartridge maker” equivalent in modern day or something.

@che5hire @coolboymew i miss 13" laptops with midrange gpu, highend cpu, 1 sata slot, 2 msata/nvme slots and hardware raid controller for less than 1k€
