for me it's Concorde
Concorde is pretty much one of the best examples.This thing was future tech that they're still trying to replicate.
>>110336525>that picLiterally another timeline.
I got to ride on one of these from NY to London before they retired them. It was really cool. I remember the pilot coming on the intercom to say that they were turning the afterburners on.
>>110336525>Future techNah, it was a product of the time.

The age is always darkest just before the golden age
>>110336525>they're still trying to replicate.No one is trying that because there's literally no market for it.It's that simple.
>>110336511Yesterday France and England made the Concorde. Today these two couldn't even make bicycles... '-_-
>>110336511>>110336525No one is trying to replicate it. It's not some lost technology. It was phased out because burning that much fuel is unprofitable plus the noise problems.
>>110336689There absolutely is a market for supersonic travel, no one wants to sit in planes for ages.The reason why Concorde went away was, that it simply wasn't cost effective and they had issues with the noise. They haven't managed to fix these issue thus far, but they have been trying to. Boom is the latest company to have a real go at this.
>>110336706>noise problems>Amazon Expands Drone Deliveries, and Gets Noise Complaints. 'Like a Swarm of Bees'It's over
>>110336511>>110336525>technologies of the pastyou are talking as if the concord is a lost techh
Software in general.Software has gone to utter dogshit regarding it's responsiveness and required resources.Shows the slow and continuous skill decline on a global level.>>110336766It may as well be lost tech. Nothing has come close to it and we're not seeing this tech make a return any time soon.
>>110336766Is it not? The 90s were different.It's a fallen world nowThis world is ruled by satanIt cannot be fixed, so fix your eyes on the other world. The kingdom of heaven. Paradise.https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201&version=NIV
>government funds future technologies like huge rockets that can put men in the moon and supersonic airliners>neolib governments cut taxes to the rich and remove tons of regulations that keeps companies in check>government cannot fund future tech anymore>companies get away with more and more grifting and cost cutting>nooooo why technology and civilization declined? must be the immigrants

>>110336825I mean, look at how snappy a basic PC with an SSD was back in 2013-2014, this computer had an FX 6300 not some top of the line overclocked i7 2700k.My current PC is significantly faster, but can't keep up with the software bloat of today, if I hadn't recorded this video I could have gaslit myself into thinking I'm just misremembering.
>>110336525The Americans were butthurt the Brits outshone them with this one so they got it banned
>>110336511Those fuckers were loud as all fuck. to the point that our aeronautical engineering school had an acoustic wind tunnel built to specifically try to solve this problem.
>>1103369108.1 was of a step back in terms of design, but it was even faster than 7 since Microsoft wanted it to be usable on underpowered tablets with eMMC storage and Atom CPUs. By comparison Windows 10 was/is atrocious, even at launch it was barely functional if you installed it on a HDD, and only got slower with each new revision, yet I see people defending it now, it's disheartening.
>technology is declining bro
>>110336706Also maintenance cost, it had a inclination to explode during takeoff if there was even the teensiest malfunction
>>110336976I hope XAi doesn't sink SpaceX because they keep doing cool shit like this.
>>110336976You could realistically take a ride on the Concord, only a select few ride on SpaceX rockets. Almost every technology you interact with as a pleb is demonstrably worse than it used to be. Cars peaked in the early 00s, TVs all spy on you and record your voice, every website and app wants to sell your data to 768 different "partners", every software suite is immeasurably more bloated and wants you to pay every month for it etc.
>>110336511The RTX 4090.I will never be able to afford a flight on a supersonic jetliner or a graphics card more powerful than an RTX 4090.
>>110336942>our aeronautical engineering school had an acoustic wind tunnel built to specifically try to solve this problem.And did they solve it?
>>110336996it exploded because a hunk of shit American DeathCoffin-10 left pieces on the runway before
>>110337081Electric cars got way better. The cost of launching shit into space has gone down an order of magnitude. AI is advancing rapidly. There have been considerable improvements in solar and battery technology. Internet speeds increased. We are not in civilizational or technological decline, quite the opposite.
>>110336525Pig bird, I saw and heard that thing climbing after a takeoff when I was driving about 60 miles away from runway, shook the road practically.This thing was a mach 2 interceptor built by the old Canada almost 100 years ago now, America shut it all down and poached the engineers though.
>>110336837>It's a fallen world now>This world is ruled by satanI fucking love idiots like you.
>>110336861What an insanely antisemitic post.
>>110336976Yeah it is, I have no use for that, on the other hand the concorde was something I could've flew on.
>>110336511>>110336525Most of the concorde's problems weren't tech but just legislation and PR. Also it doesn't make sense for the masses to have supersonic air travel. >>110336837The fall didn't happen recently, it happened once Adam and Eve sinned.
>>110337174You can use the satellite internet that was made possible by advances in the space industry. That's much more accessible than a Concorde flight. And in any case Concorde being retired isn't a sign of technological decline. It was retired because it was uneconomical, not because of some decline.
>>110337081Why don't you go compare mobile phones with modern smartphones and get back to me.
>>110337242My old Nokia did not spy on me, track my location or need a charge every day, yet I could still talk to family and friends on it. Every advancement to consumer tech has come with massive concessions to durability, repairability and privacy.
>>110337215>You can use the satellite internetI have no use for a technology that's strictly inferior than cabled.
i just saw them catch a spaceship earlier today
People who think they are smart enough to get rich and ride on the Concorde if it existed, but not smart enough to realize they would benefit from high speed satellite internet so they can make retarded 4chan posts while riding on it : THE THREADWe needed faster gas chambers, not faster jets
>>110337273Yeah I have no idea why Starlink is popular outside Africa and Ukraine.Is the world really this backwards?
Shit only europoors care about thread?
>>110337273It's superior in accessibility.
>>110337267You couldn't video chat on it. It most certainly did track your location if you had a mobile plan and could be used to spy on you if law enforcement were interested in doing so. Privacy was worse as encryption standards were poor back then.
>>110336511the iphone>impressive tech and UI, instantly placed within a walled garden with its own logic and rules>other companies follow their lead>now a pocket computer is just as much theirs as it's yours, and every year you lose more and more control over it
>>110337267This, I miss the excitment of my $30 a month contract running out after 24mths and getting the latest nokia. My little brother was excited to, because id then pass that phone down to him. Now Im on just my 3rd iphone since 2012. Nothing is exciting anymore. Ive had the same pc build since about that same time. If it wasnt for microsoft trying to make my system obsolete I wouldnt even be thinking of making an upgrade now.
>>110337338It's not, polluting the sky and atmosphere with extremely hard to remove pieces of junk is much worse than simply using cabling underground, not to mention all the technical issues they are subject too or the costs to send them up there.
