Name good technologies that disappeared for no good reason

ICQ

haha let's repeat the same dumb shit over and over, stop being autistic faggots

Greek fire

RAMBUS

Chimps

the compact disc..

actually, I hated the fucking things

A3D

Analogue TV , the choice of getting free TV by even connecting a metal coat hanger

It couldn't survive against Microsoft.

Black slaves

you can still get this user

I am right now

in HD

Most countries in Europe have got rid of it in favour of digital TV

the internet

Jow Forums

Egyptian building equipment

slide-out keyboards on phones
also, although not "disappeared" yet, headphone jacks

I'm still mad

Optical media.

Zune, fuck iPods

Boeing 737 MAX

good intel cpus

3D displays
they finally started getting good right as the last person stopped caring

RSS

Json is better

It is inferior to good steel man. It's not good by any metric, unless you're gay.

Based

this

That's not analogue, it's over the air digital

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

decorative penises made out of hollow clay

silverlight

usenet

ball massages for transvestites

Manual transmission

"But... But... It look purdy."

I think you're being dense user

what is a converter anyway?

Thinkpads. I had one in college, if they still made them I'd definitely buy one.

You act like this still isn’t the case
You just have to tune your coat hanger more towards UHF

>slavery
bad for economy

Flash

Race Driver GRID multiplayer

>thinkpads are no longer made
GOOD thinkpads are no longer made. Even by the time that ibm sold off to lenovo but they kept using the ibm name for about half of the x60's and t60's, the quality had tanked compared to what it once was.
t. x60s user.

Aren't most of the phones and tablets still have them?

Depends on the price bracket you’re looking at
Overall most phones still have the jack but if talking only flagships then most of them have done away with the jack

Digital TV is still free, dumbass. And the quality is absurdly better.

freedom

Cost
Also cost
Not a technology
Useless technology. No one wanted to make media for 4K, nevermind aut 3D formats.
Still exists everywhere that isnt obesityland
Pozzed

is manual really that common outside of burgerland?

Yes it is not normal. It might sound like Im being a dick bit America is very weird and setup to make you into fat compliant retards. Fight against it. Strive for better. Drive manual.

>Damascus steel.
Never owned a Damascus barrelled shotgun?
Never watched it slowly unravel as you used it?

>America is very weird and setup to make you into fat compliant retards
Name a country that isn't.

what? I've met several people who drive stick
I don't get this meme

Automatics gained acceptance in the US because at the time when autos started to become an option many people took that option because a good chunk of the population could afford it
The rest of the world however just felt lucky to even have a car so they wanted the lowest possible price hence why many still choose manuals

Google Reader.

AOL Instant Messenger

Are there security fixes for the intel cpu vulnerabilities that still lets you use libreboot?

Cassette tapes

but automatics are more fuel efficient and require less attention which may be used instead to avoid accidents.
also you don't have a garbage disposal and you're afraid of them. I know all about you europeans

underrated.

>for no good reason
A little thing called the Compact Disc may have had something to do with it.

>this makes the europoor flee in fear

This is not a post I was expecting to see on Jow Forums.

pretty sure you can't get a driving license here unless you can drive manual

CRT

Manual is great for once in a while driving, it just gets fucking tedious after a while.

Who cares, it is beautiful.

This. Automatics took over because of economic reasons.

Bullshit. It becomes fucking muscle memory and you don’t even think about it unless you’re a fucking pleb.

Enjoy your clutch going out without warning in a turning lane at the height of rush hour retard.

i doubt you've ever experienced heavy traffic in your life

The AIDS vaccine

this x1000000000000

superior build quality for a premium price as opposed to just a name.

So much of our technology has been replaced with inferior or no better versions
See how many fucking markdown, data format, and programming languages we have (literally 10,000's of thousands) despite the fact that everything is just functions, numbers, symbols and lists of these things at the end of the day

Water fueled engines

keyboards on phones

H2o powered engines.

DC++

this and ZPE

>For no reason
Reason behind the disappearance is pretty obvious tho

sorry, thought it said no GOOD reason

>crt
heavy, bulky, hot, power hungry, hazardous to dispose of, hazardous materials needed to make
>plasma
shittier OLED

on a manual your clutch or pressure plate may go out, but an auto is inherently more complicated, so the rate of failure is about the same, ackshully.

enjoy your starter motor going out (anywhere) and not being able to push start your car, retard

Detachable batteries on smartphones, although technically not gone entirely yet, in 5 yrs from now no newly made smartphone is gonna have a detachable battery.

But it's not. Every competent sword maker knows how to make damascus steel.

RSS feeds. The more I think about it, the more likely it seems like (((they))) killed off Google Reader and media companies publishing RSS feeds, so that we'd all get our media aggregation from degenerate social media networks.

The manufacturing of reliable caseless ammunition for assault rifles. At the end of the G11's development life, Dynamit Nobel finally manage to get it right, to mass manufacture thermally stable propellant that isn't too vulnerable to humidity or heat. But the end of the G11 program pretty much killed the technology since most chemists and engineers involved in it have retired already, even tho technically a new generation of professionals could pick up from where they left it, the cost of rebuilding the infrastructure for the mass manufacturing of caseless ammunition would be too expensive and not worth it.
