Needless romantization of flawed, outdated technology we've grown past.
It'd be a bit like saying "90s computers were more alive because they had super loud fans and hard drive clicks" or "VHS was more alive because of the wow effect"
In fact, this video gave me huge Ren Faire and "millennial burger joint" vibes.

@r000t@ligma.pro @cjd@pkteerium.xyz 90s computers were more alive because they had super loud fans and hard drive clicks Yes, it had character. Now every computer is just a boring box of electronics. Laptops are even worse when none of them even bother with something as simple as disk activity. Just like EVs are all boring. Sure, they can easily pull fast acceleration. With a boring and slightly annoying whine.
