old tech has a great aesthetic

but wwwwwooooowwwwww new tech is def. superior.

except in terms of repairability I suppose.

Like really, a lot of newer tech is basically "haha fuck you buy a new one if something breaks".

With odler tech at least you could repair it or fix it most of the time, or get a replacement part pretty easily and cheaply. Heck these days with 3d printing tech you'd think you'd be able to MAKE replacement bits, but nope. sealed units and system-on-chip bullshit.

@Nine I'm not talking soldered-on storage or missing jacks, I'm talking soldered-on CPUs in notebooks for example or the fact that p. much *everything* is soldered in modern phones

@tom yah I got what you meant. NOBODY in their right mind would defend missing jacks and soldered-on storage...

...except maybe apple. and apple fanboys.
