    It’s too bad that, unlike the weird, quirky electronics 20-30 years ago, these will be totally unusable in several years. The retro computer enthusiasts 20yrs from now will have nothing to make YouTube videos about.

      Some will find a niche. There’s a dude I watch called “Dankpods” and his schtick is shitty cheap-ass mp3 players from the mid-2000s on up.

      On the contrary, lots of “Do you remember this stupid gimmick that was dead and useless within a year?” videos to be made.

    Can we just have network based processing already please? I just want my clear glass empty, Expanse hand terminal. Relatively universal specs that never need upgrading so we don’t waste shit every 4 years.

      The mobile networks are still pretty trash though. You really want to see the cellphone bill from having your phone just be a terminal to a server somewhere?
