Forced to use my phone during a windows update which breaks my computer. My phone is shitty and slow. Google is full of unhelpful results. Youtube is showing nothing but political ads about ms-13 killing white people.

Truly 2024 is great.

To be fair, not all tech is enshittified, I'm an electronics enthusiast and there are insanely cool open source devices made by the community or by Chinese companies that blow my mind, like the NanoVNA vector Network analyzer, the Pinecil soldering iron, or the meshtastic LoRa-based wireless communication between phones

jesse-wtf

made me feel like a boomer with all those gizmos

To be fair, those gizmos are pretty niche and hobbyist (NanoVNA and Meshtastic is ham radio shit, Pinecil is a soldering iron)
