of all the software released in the last few years, of all the new versions of poo poo, what can we accomplish now on our computer that we couldn't before? like if you went back in time to 2018, or hell even 2013, what program (or, ugh, gently caress, i guess website) or feature thereof would you miss being able to use?

maybe things like password managers and proper MFA becoming more standardized. Thats not really a new technology tho, just wider adoption of existing stuff. rtx and vr are kind of cool i guess, but i wouldnt say they're critical. Other than that i think if we reverted all tech to 10 years ago everything would be better. Even advances in raw compute performance have only been used to paper over the poor performance of bad (javascript) "applications".

massive bandwidth and data cap increases really has pushed what's practical to do on mobile devices dis-proportionally to the device hardware per se, imho

ai services have unironically made quite an impact to boring stuff. the main value i’ve seen is turning unstructured data into structured data, for example pointing a camera at analogue monitor read outs and turning that into a digital dashboard that can be seen/alerted on from anywhere. some guy at work worked with a health board to ingest 200,000 radiologist reports which were just unstructured text and now we have nationwide analytics on efficacy of scans and resulting treatments also as a pleb i feel like appification of everything is in a good place now, like i am in the middle of travelling internationally and every little thing is conveniently purchasable from my phone then i can just scan a qr code to board/check in etc

wait what do you mean there are finite resources and technological advancement has slowed to a crawl because we have solved all the easy problems and now there are only difficult things not worth doing?

science nerd talk but holy poo poo 10 years ago we sucked at so much and today we still suck but computer stuff has revolutionised sceince - cryoEM and modelling (alphafold) could not be done 5 years ago at the level we're seeing today. probably also a bunch of boring dna stuff like high-throughput sequencing and somehow turning random electrical signals into something useful
