And yet, the page with this article takes about 4 seconds to stop loading. That's on a 8 core, 16GB RAM machine on a 400+Mbps connection.
If anything, the UX of computing devices has become objectively slower over the past decade as everything moved to the web / web frameworks.
Everything I touch has latency, latency, latency. The fastest gadget UI in my household is on the microwave from the 80's, which has two dials for UI and reacts instantly. Everything else takes its sweet time for every operation.
I even had to upgrade the firmware on a speaker to get acceptable amounts of out-of-sync (the firmware added >0.5 sec latency to aux in!).
Going back to webpages, I mostly avoid articles that can't be processed with Firefox's Reader View. Everything else is too slow -- and for no good reason.
