why is every new technology built in an ugly way, hard to repair, hard to recycle, pricey and shortlasting?

are sold as genuine technological progress, while in reality those are one dimensional quasi inventions.
is that the (((way of the future)))?
most STEM people are one dimensional autists that cant think outside the box so they design the tech that way

SELL AS MUCH OF YOUR TECH AS YOU CAN
increasing amounts of surveillance will make you wish you did sooner. This is coming from all tech and government sectors. Begin trying to escape the technological system and you will begin to figure out that it is very difficult: credit cards, bank accounts, cellphone, gps, digital footprints in search engines, etc.
We are trapped in an update HELL. Not too long ago one would buy software and own it. The programmers had a certain amount of professionalism forced upon them when they had to burn the software onto a disc to be sold. Now, with hot updates pushed out at anytime on the web, through app stores, and even without your consent through your own OS (esp. Windows) you do not know what is happening on your own devices. This should be alarming to anyone who cares about freedom. However, most browns cannot fathom liberty and are willing cattle.
Noise pollution, wave pollution, light pollution are also interesting topics to discuss.
Our infrastructure is cobbled together. There are many pain points that could cause the entire system to collapse. There are also many points that are being used to control content distribution. ISPs, DNSs, Hardware manufacturers, software manufacturers, etc. NO PRIVACY BY DEFUALT. SPAM BY DEFAULT.
The internet is real only insofar as it can cause people to make changes in the real world. There is a certain combination of 1s and 0s that is illegal. There is a certain combination of 1s and 0s that can save the huwite race.
Anyone have data dumps on EMP?
Ever opened and tried to repair a VCR?
Technology gets easier and more simple all the time.
What you are describing is planned obsolescence.
New stuff has to be build to fail because it would never fail if you apply everything we know.
advanced technology is literally and openly an elite world government eugenics mass mind control and mass population control conspiracy
Fucking ridiculous!
basically, go STEAMPUNK.
Get off Jow Forums then LARPer
normie phones are too large. They're literally only to fit into women's purses.
>Ever opened and tried to repair a VCR?
>Technology gets easier and more simple all the time.
thats just because you throw out entire components and replace them with new ones
you're 100% dependent on a small amount of highly sophisticated manufacturers, without them your technology is a brick and there's nothing you can do about it
Pic related is an example of successful design
>Redundancy, serviceability, easy of repair are essentials in the design
B-52 is also a good example of design
These products last because although modern tech is far better, the design philosophy of the time gives them utility far beyond expectation.
60s, basically post moon landing engineering is the best IMO. We were literally one step away from nuclear thermal rockets to Mars until LBJ decided to divert billions to the niggers

You're right - we need creative thinkers in the STEM field... what if we added the Arts?
>the joke is that the USA cant build trains for shit anymore LMAO
Fucking hell never noticed. Better find out wtf it is and buy it.
Let's see if thus one's real
There's this thing called STEAM. It stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.
And that is legit; its just the standards in the Arts are so god damn low they just fill up with useless commies
This. The only art we need is technical/concept art to make our dreams a reality.
Or you could just handle your stuff with care you fucking mong
Smartphones can easily last 5+ years if you care for them properly.
Same goes for most electrical appliances, it's you who cant handle their shit.

buy a pair of pliers today and I guarantee you that they arent as durable as those made in 1980s Germany
HUH?? (in communist)
Ofcourse not. Shit back then was built with proper materials and was designed to last. It isn't these days. Just because the stamp on the pliers might say it's a certain type of steel doesn't mean they are, because Chinese are fucks like that.
yeah pretty much. you get cheap chinese crap at low prices but still with large markup. And nothing is done about it because there are hundreds of newly built crap products waiting in line so no necessity and no incentive to make better products
>Just because the stamp on the pliers might say it's a certain type of steel doesn't mean they are, because Chinese are fucks like that.
That phenomennon is everywhere.
Very visible in clothing also - in mid 20th century, you wore a shit until it ripped in pieces from washing, not people usually throw clothng after 2 years of mil use and buy from sodomite supporting company like (((H&M))) .
Why do they do that? Stupidity and vainness, but also they have to - modern cotton is cheap and cloured with cheap coloring so the smell gets stuck in it.
When you count it price per use and time to find smth sutitable we are at a deep deep loss for buying throwaway tech.
Im no hippie, but imagine the effect that has on envirnoment. Total degeneracy...if we polute, let us at least polute with a higher goal in mnd instead of just living on debt and buying dumb shit.

Blame Apple for that jew "minimalism" shit look
>why is every new technology built in an ugly way, hard to repair, hard to recycle, pricey and shortlasting?
Because new technology is inherently more complicated and not refined for the layman to handle basic maintenance
If it can be maintained by the common person then it's not new technology
cars.
how easy is to maintain a modern Audi? how pricey?
To what benefit?
How does that affect the selfsustainable lyfestyle?
They could have build them like tanks like Lada Niva and even drop the price, but they decided to pump them with gimicky technology that wins idiotic car desing awards, but not to the profit of the end customer.
actually Apple is a solid company. but shitty image.
>If it can be maintained by the common person then it's not new technology
only bugman think that way. Bicycles from the 1980s were miles more easier to maintain that bikes from 1940s or 70s.
You can choose to develop a product in different directions:
1. more sophisticated
2. more durable
3. more affortable
4. etc.
bugman have a fetish on more sophistacation they dont even need, theyll cash out a paycheck on the newest phone and it wont even last a year.
Most modern tech is a horrible investment.
>1. more sophisticated
there is a place for more sophisticated tech, but that is only for specialists like avio mechanics, chirurgy etc.
Average needs are durability and needs of use, but due to STEMautism everything is built up with useless gimmicks like apps for using a juicer and other stupic kickstarter stuff.
>Bicycles from the 1980s were miles more easier to maintain that bikes from 1940s or 70s.
...that's exactly my point you idiot fuck.
Eventually new technology stops being new. People refine it and make it easier to modify and maintain for regular people.
>bugmen
What in the fuck are you talking about?
Go outside, you obviously need some fresh air
>...that's exactly my point you idiot fuck.
>Eventually new technology stops being new. People refine it and make it easier to modify and maintain for regular people.
and they are reverting back to horrible requirements of mainintence with carbon and air shocks. same phenomennon with cars. gimmicky masturbatory desing.
go buy yourself a nintendo switch and stuck it up in you pozz ridden ass (use an app for it also).
It's crony capitalism.
>outsource for cheap labor with poor quality control and cheap plastic materials
>make it hard to repair with random fasteners in hard to reach spots, proprietary parts, and special tools, so you give up and just buy another
>planned obsolence via. a part breaking after a certain time period, so you...buy another!
>software pushed on hard deadlines because "we can fix the bugs later". Also leads to cyber security issues that will be worse with the IoT
>suppressed patents for new tech by existing industries
>large corporations purchasing smaller companies, making their products cheaper for mass scale, and/or just sitting on the product intending to not release it.
I don't think it's true for what people think of as "tech", but architects and structural engineers take the easy way out making boxes for building instead of celebrating European architecture.
Have a pair of my great grandfather's needlenose pliers, which are well over 100 yrs old. Feel like surgical instrument quality. No deformation in the tips despite heavy use over those 100 years...America knew how to build shit in those days
> Hard to repair
That would be relative to your Knowledge, which you should strive to seek no matter what. You have no excuse on that point.
Also forgot to mention rolling out new products with minimal updates like the iPhone to push sales. It's called a product lifecycle separated into 4 stages: 1) introduction, 2) growth, 3) maturity, 4) decline/renewal. Companies don't want their sales to decline, so they'll roll out the iPhone XXXXXXX before sales dip on the older model.
It's a change in the national mindset imo. Back in those days people were frugal and wanted things to last. Now we our philosophy is to buy and trash. You can thank Bernays for creating consumer culture.
Just look at Mercedes.
1980’s models have aged better and are selling for more than 2000’s models which are rusting and falling apart.
The gimmicks is to jack up the repair bills that you can only to do certified audi dealerships with certified components. They design that way on purpose it's not a side effect.
I have a 12 year old autistic cousin who writes more intelligently than you. Of course, she's Polish, not a Canuck.

There needs to be a consumer push for quality. Only then will the market respond with durable alternatives.
A lot of it has to do with the boomer mentality.
This desu
Theres so much shit my phone does I don't use like (((Bixby)))
pic rel is pump by German company SKS
pumps up to 16 bar, design UNCHANGED from last 50 years. All Made in Germany, entirely servicable. Mostly steel and cast iron.
All the new pumps are different than that one - where is the difference? they are lighter and pump slightly faster, but last 5 years if you are lucky. Made in Chinkland. 8 bars max (rated more offcourse). Mostly plastic and aluminum.
Prices are almost the same, Germany slightly more expensive but far cheaper in long run. More recycleble also.
Tech Pozz is everywhere.
canadian are the worst poster.
same shit with Rimac cars.

Also a toaster from WWII. Stainless steel, Auto lowers your bread (slowly) and brings it up slowly when its done. You open it up and its easy to repair if something goes wrong, which is why its still around... You can still find these used on E-Bay, but they're close to $70 , even at that age
Most consumers are too poor to have a choice. Best we could do is to just stop buying useless shit in general.
All new thingies were always like that, becauae the makers atart behaving jewily and wanna get all yo money
back in time where you used stuff you owned and it served a PURPOUSE even shoes used to built in a way you can resole them by restiching during good capitalism (before keynesian economics of printing/borrowing money).
dont get me started on house construction quality
>Also a toaster from WWII. Stainless steel
hnggh!
Best test of smart tech is is it advisable to buy it used.
start buying good stuff used
I like my s9. It feels nice in my hand and the curved screen give me joy whenever I interact with it. I had an HTC desire 626 for like 3 years and hopefully I can have this one for 6. It's really a perfect phone for me.
and why cant I buy a nice cocacola in a glas bottle in shops? ever noticed the difference in taste compared to estrogen plastics we have?
>but glass isnt cool, you want to be tech savvy and buy plastic, dont you?
No, I've been seeing a lot more glass packs for soda and juice recently, even in poorfag markets. They've been selling like crazy too. I wrote a letter to cocacola asking if they could bring back their coca cola vending machines with the glass bottles. It just looks like Americana.
True. I usually buy used, heavily discounted, or bulk.
Yeah that's a tough nut to crack. Shart Mart doesn't offer durable goods. Thinking about it now, perhaps an alternative consumer economy can emerge when 3-D printers get better, especially SLS metal printers. The tech neets can make good products at home/small business and sell them when they actually have a purchase order instead of stocking shelves hoping someone wants it. Combine that with the open source community, ebay, and craigslist, then we might be talking. This can put upward pressure on big companies to make better products.
cheaper to produce means more profits. more profitable to resell you the same product again. not repairable makes you dependent on licensed specialists which generate more profit for the same companies.
basically, kikeconomics. reminder that "buisnesses exists to make money goyim" is entirely a modern jewish invention. Businesses use to exist for the sake of making, developing, and distributing product as a mechanism for making society better rather than solely enriching itself at the cost of others. It wasnt until the ((boomers)) gave up their inheritance for a quick buck to the jew that things started going down this downward spiral.
I still have tools, furniture, and a few pieces of clothings from the early 1900s that I inherited from my parents, who got them from their parents who were bought by their parents. Some of the furniture is even older and completely usable. My car is from the 1960s and my boat is from the 1950s. This is generational wealth that my family saw fit to maintain and pass on, meanwhile the retard across the street just dropped 80,000 on a new car that he will have to replace in 5 years. That's what dumb goyim do. And since its impossible to keep up with rebuying every single thing, he's going into debt like crazy which is exactly what they want for you and your family. That way they can own you.
>Combine that with the open source community, ebay, and craigslist, then we might be talking. This can put upward pressure on big companies to make better products.
its already happening, but the push from the other side is very stong.
It's because *modern and improved* americans would just stab each other with broken coke bottles.

Things like company buyouts, patent suppression, and oligopolistic price controls are fucking small businesses. Oligopoly, where a few companies control an industry, are just as bad as a monopoly. They're essentially a monopoly anyway with interlocking corporate boards. That's where you need some government regulation but muh lobbyists nip that in the bud.

I learned recently that Africans are desperate to buy as many really old tractors as they can find, things from the 80s/90s and earlier. It's because these tractors tend to be mechanical, are really easy to repair and last forever, as opposed to modern tractors which cost hundreds of thousands to buy new, are all electronic (which is just what you want in one of the dirtiest and wettest jobs in the country) and cost thousands just to fix a minor issue.
It's no wonder the West is failing, we blindly buy the latest shiny new gadget for exorbitant prices, whereas others know to look for the best value for money and just get things that they know are going to work.
it's unbearable to do any type of major related to arts, been there done that. The infiltration isn't ending anytime soon, so the best way out would be supporting artists you like, that'll encourage more people to develop their craft on their own rather than going to some crap college, which most don't want to anyway but they force themselves so that, if all goes wrong, at least there's a shitty teaching gig. If artists feel like they have the option to do something, they will. It's just that currently it isn't an option to do it on your own, even with crowdfunding and stuff like that, because the communities who get involved with these new 'methods' are a niche too.
I guess I also don't need to say that most people have been conditioned to accept and even cheer for ugliness, often you'll be ridiculed if you try to follow a classic standard
