I like how Nintendo systems from the 1990s could be put in a shed without air conditioning and survive for five years and still play games. Simple, optimized, robust engineering.

I like how cars from more than ten years ago just work, rather than being a nanny to you while you drive.

Cars, TVs, and all sorts of devices just whine today about problems. We’ve gone backward in some sense.

I’m willing to support brands that make more physical stuff. Already doing that with my next car choice.
