> I have never been so bored with the state of tech. First, I agree that crypto and AI are much VC nonsense. Not so much make someone else money as consume it while dominating the conversation. Maybe AI will put customer support people out of a job. Congratulations VCs, that's what you were put on the planet for. Bravo, well done. Otherwise, maybe tech is too good. Wearables? Apple Watch and iPhone. I'm very happy with the MacBook Air that I'm typing this on. I'm quite happy with my EVs. When I need to see a doc, I send a message on MyChart. Chat with a friend, WhatsApp. When I need to look something up chances are pretty high that there's something on Wikipedia. When I want a book, I check it out online and pick it up at the library. Or I'll buy it on Alibris or Amazon. A nice late edition copy of my college calculus book cost $5 + shipping. I can travel anywhere and have a map and be able to pay for something with my credit card. When I want a quick tutorial and drills on Kyrie Irving's moves, it's on YouTube. Chess? I can play programs that would destroy Bobby Fischer. As for systems and infra, I'm very happy with LLVM, Linux, FreeBSD, homebrew, .... Readily available consumer systems are infinitely fast compared to what we grew up with. No Apple IIgs for me, thank you Boomer. My complaint? No late night haunts because everyone is online. I'll grant that what isn't there is the sense of the new. But what is there is really, really good.
