      I had one too, they’re so comfortable. Recently got a new one, mostly out of nostalgia. Quality has really gone off a cliff from what I remember of the models ten years ago, but what consumer gadget has gotten qualitatively better?

    Funniest thing to me are lightweight gaming mouses, super fragile mouses that cost more because they’re just lighter lmao. you know how ppl used to check if the material felt solid as a sign of quality? well not it’s actually the reverse, quite a brilliant marketing tactic tbh.

      That’s how I feel about minimalist design lol marketing to sell less material for higher prices

        I honestly like minimalist furniture, it’s only a problem when it’s more expensive because its ‘minimalist’.

        I hate how old people hoard big ass furniture just to fill them up with other useless stuff they don’t want to throw away.

          Yeah the concept in itself is fine but it seems to exist mostly to sell cheap particle board to westerners for thousands of dollars
