Not to sound like a depressed cynical fuck, but anyone who isn't a hipster working in IT surrounded by cheerful media tech echo chambers where they post about non existing breakthroughs daily, knows that almost everything these days looks like old crap. Nuclear reactors which are nothing but simplistic steam machines, batteries which are still something from 1920's, airplanes and rockets which are built using 1960's schematics and materials, AIDS and cancer haven't been cured in 30+ years.

I love watching those videos and getting inspired by lurking on tech websites, but it gets tiresome to read about "Scientists managed to destroy 99% of cancer cells in a patient" or "A new battery which can hold 500% more charge was created by [literally who]" or "We gonna live in Virtual Reality in a few years!" for like 20 years non stop, only to see that we are still at the same place we were years ago.

Enjoy those futuristic pictures, and definitely keep in touch with the new stuff, because those are the only things worth being obsessed with these days, but don't get your hopes up and accept the fact that it probably won't happen in our lifetime.

That is true. Of course, one should ALWAYS sit on a bike, and should test ride it before buying. There are many things to consider.

this is nice

Not as nice as you.

need to reboot, brb

but none of that is true

if you really think most of technology is resting on the laurels of advances made in the 50's you are just objectively incorrect

I have close friends and family members that work in chip design, neuroscience, and aerospace engineering, and all of them are of the opinion that their fields are advancing at a never before seen pace, largely due to the increased use/integration of computers/robotics

Having to reboot to make computer compute is technology's way of saying it needs to go

aaw, my roommate just came back home and I can't draw anymore.

...

It's just the fastest way to get rid of unwanted processes that were left behind after closing the program.
But yeah, the computer is pretty old.

Aww :/

Anecdotal evidence isn't reality. I'll believe it when i see it. So far people are mostly obsessed with old stuff rebranded as The Next Thing.

It's actually both amazing and sad that mobile phones had more advancement in the last decade than aerospace, medicine and military tech combined. Electronics are the only things which can keep a romantic alive, otherwise there would be nothing in this world that is worth looking at. Air conditioning, refrigerators, car engines, commercial aviation, even textile industries are all the same as they were half a century ago. Some are worse in fact, like the lack of ultrasonic planes for public use, or the fact that stuff these days is outdated and breaks in 5 years, while the classics can last for 30 years easily.

Would describe these "nice"

I think you are confusing deliberate planned obsolescent with the general state of technological advancement

the reason mobile phones seem to have advanced so quickly is because they are a fusion of several distinct technologies - battery, chip, display - that have all individually made major breakthroughs

as far as medicine goes, you are just wrong, look into robotic surgery and telepresence in medicine, to say nothing of the many advances in both designing, testing, and manufacturing pharmaceuticals, AND the computer driven diagnostic techniques

most novel aerospace engineering is done on black projects, but in the public sphere a lot of advances have been made on both the efficiency of engines and the durability of the alloys used to build air-frames, again just in the last 10 years

>car engines
>still the same as 50 years ago
dude, just because you don't understand them doesn't mean nothing changed
Those differences are huge. We are talking single-camshaft, NA all mechanical with a carburetor versus fully variable drivetrains, electronically controlled fuel injection capable of sending up to 10 pulses of fuel per ignition in to the cylinder in such a way that the pressure gradient doesn't get too harsh, equipped with exhaust gas treatment systems that make the air that comes out hardly worse than what came in. Those engines are coupled with turbos that reach 100k to 300k RPM at temperatures up to 900°C and reliably deliver 3bar of intake pressure for diesels. Not to forget that there are functional hybrids as well now.
A lot has changed in that field, just not much that the average customer would notice.

many consumer products seem inferior to their counterparts made in decades past because they are designed to be - it makes you much more money to make a cheaper product that breaks in five years and has to be replaced than an expensive to manufacture product that the consumer can keep repaired and functioning for a lifetime

It was refusing to close that one. Instead of fighting it, this was much quicker.

...

...

What was it anyway?
Assumed it was smth browser-related that had crashed again

VPN client refused to fully disappear, and Nemo was taking up more RAM than I liked anyways.

You're upset at the glacial pace of that technology reaching your consumer hands faggot. My fucking car has a CVT which was meme technology until the late 90s and now the shit is standard.

Well, you can bring up a million examples from behind the scenes, but if a consumer can't buy it, then we can safely assume it doesn't exist. It's almost like if someone in the 50's said that you can post naked animals on the ARPANET. You couldn't, but now you can, so at the time if someone said that, he would be put into mental institution. By the time your wet dreams become a reality, we would be 6 feet below the ground.

...

Lurking.

>I can't afford it so it doesn't exist

...

...

...

Even billionaires die from cancer, have to use eyeglasses, and they sure as hell can't fuck cartoon animals.

>but if a consumer can't buy it
You can buy it, in fact you can hardly not buy it anymore, if you wish to buy a newish vehicle. The amount of cars currently sold that doesn't have turbos and direct injection is declining rapidly, down to the cheapest city-cars.
The average customer simply doesn't SEE it, because they don't understand all that "black magic" happening under the hood.
The only area where not much positive happend is simple appliances, because, honestly, there's not much to improve about a toaster.

...

>simple appliances cankn't be "improved"
Wrong: IoT
