I tend to not really care for most new things, as most of it feels cheap, inauthentic or a scam to further the surviellance facist oligarchy state. Id be completely content with time frozen in 2004.

So, to be a little more positive, what are some new things that are actually good?

Note, to me, new is within the last 10 years.

I’ll start. The fediverse concept is neat.

      What were they called? I’d love to know, as apparently through decades of rv-ing, cottaging, and travelling, I don’t recall encountering them! And none of the rv industry’s resources mentioned this decades-old technology! Do you have any images of them on store shelves? Air Fryer recipes from the 90s?

          Exactly the same! Portable! Can be plugged into any standard household outlet! Preheat in 5 minutes! Fully roast a 2kg chicken in 45 minutes! Fit on the counter! Operate for pennies!

          Boy, do I feel dumb!
