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.

I have the same feeling. Even though I love tech, I'm starting to appreciate analog stuff more and more. I write on paper now, I picked up some old canon vintage lenses for my DSLR Camera as examples.

I can appreciate all the AI advances and automation for tools when it comes to getting things done. But with all the advancements I can't help to feel it feels a bit hollow.

There's a beauty in taking your time for some things. There's value in tactile feel for things. Photography, art/design, even engineering.

Even consuming art and entertainment. I appreciate having everything available on streaming. BUT, I do really miss album cover art, the small booklets that came with CD's. And I still read all my books 99% physical.
