Getting an old machine is the way. I can’t think of why I would want this and I’m old so I don’t think it’s coming back.

You realize one has nothing to do with the other right? They make a hybrid version of almost every model in the lineup. They are leaning into fucking hybrids mate.

It’s really not though, you just can’t have a 4000sq foot house here, you get a 1000sq ft apartment or you commute in. 200k income won’t buy you a nice house in Austin or Miami without a commute either.

That applies to lots of things. Most kids don’t like broccoli the first time they try it either. Tastebuds are adaptable. The effects are more important.

Because coffee is awesome if you avoid the negative effects like sleep disruption?

Also processed junk food got way more cheap and common and unhealthy right? almost everyone’s brain is wired to love sugar and salt, and we found good ways to hack that.

Shrooms aren’t usually part of this cycle. You’re thinking of meth & heroin/fentanyl

You do realize this is what people always say when this happens? Nothing you said is reassuring, it’s basically “trust us guys”

Most cars still have the steering wheel controls from what I’ve seen regardless of screens. I think even teslas have some steering wheel buttons

You’re old. Almost no one has that muscle memory anymore. Hell almost no one listens to the radio anymore, people listen to Spotify or podcasts.

It’s the same in the US, you just correctly identified that it’s not an issue for the vast majority of people outside of the data collection concerns (which most people also don’t care about)

Did they build housing on them or what?

Because people want to play games that are fun not grind on some play to earn scheme or cash grab. turning games into marketplaces often ruins the fun.

Maybe you took me a little too literally. There are obviously many disadvantages to record players and having an infinite library of music on your phone is amazing. I don’t even own a record player or an old radio anymore, but the next time

Lots of companies make ovens with physical knobs still. Smart features are creeping in but more in fridges than ovens.

There’s a reason people fetishize retro products and it’s not only the aesthetics. For example turning on a radio and having it instantly work, not dealing with boot times, glitchy screens, unresponsive controls, failed Bluetooth connection
