"Tech" worsened when it became the norm to not have all diagrams and schematics along with a parts list with cross reference numbers when purchasing machinery.

When companies decided that the customer doesn't have the right to the knowledge to troubleshoot and repair a machine they have supposedly purchased.

Making all the systems in newer cars “modules” that are basically unrepairable and intertwined unnecessarily. Requiring their own ecu and a can bus for these faggots to communicate with each other.

Touch screens in cars.

the iphone/android phone. Society went downhill.

Everything they come out with requires more and more of my time to navigate, henceforth I recoil from most of it. Don’t even have a smartphone.

One of the things that ruined tech is the stock market and the incessant need of tech companies to create monthly subscription income to raise their stock prices. Photoshop and MS Word were vastly superior when you could pay $99 once for a lifetime license to this highly advanced software and keep it forever, now everything you create disappears if you don't keep paying their monthly ransom in perpetuity.

The first couple of years of the internet were great.

Then suddenly it wasnt 'nerdy' any more.

Then the fucking kids showed up....

What the fuck is with "libraries" instead of just finding you shit in a file structure on a harddrive? I'm still fucking around trying to keep my stuff off the cloud.

Windows

Not only tech, but people have gotten dumber. Reaction times are slowing

The pattern seems to be most of the time the initial tech is great because it's pure engineers trying to solve a genuine real-world problem.

Then once the innovation is made, in comes a cavalry of leeches; first marketing, sales, then later bureaucrats, and finally politicians.

And so the original product and innovation turns to shit because it's no longer there to only solve the original problem, but now has to support the leech industrial complex instead.

In short, I hate most everything and much of everybody but technology turned against us pretty much around when the auto industry began phasing out the carburetor....gone were the days of the standard 2 barrel Edelbrock, 4 barrel quadrajet and 6pack Holley, fuel injection relegated the
hobby mechanic to basic front end and drive-line repair...fuck I used to know the firing order for Chev 350s, Ford 360s and 351 Cleveland, yanking out a distributor to replace points and condensers was routine but electronic ignition changed all that...today it requires $50k for computerized equipment and software to troubleshoot the many glitches that sensors, switches, solenoids and modules are prone to...but I remember one time we had a Genie Elevated work platform snuff out and the mechanic had to be flown in from Ottawa but it was a shutdown that we were on and the schedule was tight and the Genie was right in the middle of the molten iron spill area, I was told that I had 36hrs to get that machine out and all 65' of boom was extended into the blast furnace structure, FUCK, it was brand knew and I was looking at backcharges of $80k per hr for as long as production was impeded...I was told by the
dealer that there was no way of bypassing the electronics to make it work and a technician was a week away...all eyes are on me and my company, between my mechanic and I we bypassed, reconfigured and rerouted circuits, sensors and proximity switches, in 10hrs we had it packed up and out...one guy came up to me and said "I knew you could do it" and that he made $1,500.00 on bets with a few guys who thought I was fucked...another guy came to me and said "if anyone can do it was you(me)"...but for the most part it was my German mechanic that was the key element there...but technology has us hostage.

Intel CPUs adopting hardware level rootkits (Management Engine) back in 2008. Well, technically chipset on the board, but still.

The last Intel CPUs that aren't kiked rolled off the fabs before then.

AMD CPUs followed suit with their own hardware level rootkit (Platform "Security" Processor) in 2013. Even less is known about this black box.

Neither can effectively be removed or disabled. There are projects which purport to do so, but admit in their docs that it doesn't work 100%.

Basically, if you use x86 family processors made after 2013 (or 2008 for Intel), then it is impossible to have a computer for which you can ascertain that you are the true owner and the only one to whom your computer takes commands from.

These hardware rootkits are nearly ubiquitous in 2025 because almost nobody knows about them, nor do they understand the dangers they present. You cannot avoid what you don't know about.

ARM processors are also equally cucked with ARM "Trust"zone hardware rootkits. TPTB do not want plebeians to have full control over their own devices.

Moon landing... some how from the last trip to the moon.. the super men of the time the ones with computers the size of building... materials that were well subpar in every way compared to modern materials... those super men had the technology to go back to the moon 6 times with out losing a soul...

Now we can't go no matter how hard we try we just don't have the technology they did in the late 60s and early 70s we even lost the telemtry data...

Ohhh wait the 3 body problem makes it impossible to hit a moving target when 3 bodies are involved but they had the black female janitor back then to do the impossible math.

Anyways I'm just a conspiracy theorist I believe what ever the jew education system tells me

Everything after the rotary phone


I'm actually sort of not even kidding either. The truth is when you had a landline rotary phone you had to wait and schedule a call with somebody you had to wait to hear them call you had to make an appointment with people and so people kept their appointments because you didn't have a cell phone to tell them you weren't going to be there or you were going to be late or you were going to do something instead.

Having mobile phones absolutely destroyed people's willingness to make and keep appointments and give each other courtesy in that regard.

And rotary because let's face it that clicking sound was just cool

Cars and appliances have turned to utter shit. I will keep fixin my 2004 Astro van til I die.

My second hand Nokia 3270 classic, ip-rated, great camera, once a week charge..
Now we have these 6.9 inch, 0,5 kg, covid-pass enabled, ((airtag)) enabled, always on pieces of shit. Impossible to root etc.

40 year old tractors are great and still in demand.

When I was young, there was an internetforum where people found their wife/husband. Now we're stuck with jewbook/jewapp.

When people started buying cheap faulty chinese shit instead of european stuff. Things from china break, people buy again while things made in germany still work.

Everything depends on the quality of biology. Technology follows biology.

when youtube got commercials
when google bought youtube
when microsoft bought minecraft
when metallica sued napster
I got pretty miffed when we stopped using the long metal rod to physically disengage power supply on button press in tower PCs, those initial soft-press fuckers sucked when you needed a hard af reboot.

Everything after newsgroups.

Or before reddit went to subreddits and moderators.

Yahoogroups were good too. So they wiped out all the evidence.

Well I got to say the original old pure HTML is still the snappiest and best website that you can visit and you can throw a tiny bit of JavaScript in there and still make it good and you can throw in some Pearl and it can still be snappy and flow fast but quite frankly everything after that just cluttered up websites made them extremely slow making them data vacuuming machines and now most websites just suck.

When we jumped from electricity to electronics. That is the slippery slope we've been sliding down.

Early access mobile internet. For a time it seemed that internet was going to be garbage on mobile.

Also how few mobile handsets there are to choose from now. Early 2000s they had so many more choices, and innovative than today.

any thing hipoint.

2010-present

The word you are looking for is "dark age".

Christ-Cucks hate talking about the "Middle Dark Age", so look into the "Late Bronze Age Collapse" if you want to have a conversation that doesn't trigger the NPCs.

We are currently living in a dark age, as most of our information is stored digitally.
When the next crisis hits, most of that information will be erased to history, just like so many Greek and Roman scientific manuscripts erased and written over by Christian monks so they could write a prayer.
