I feel as if technology has stagnated, all that are left are grifts or just make everything terrible, like AI. I was thinking Zoom calls maybe? The tech has definitely improved since Skype.

I was going to say Instant Pot, but that came out in 2010. Linux got better, but that's mostly incremental changes rather than a really big change on top of Windows getting a lot shittier. I guess there's RISC-V CPUs, but those aren't commercial products, so at best, you can say that RISC-V CPUs can be the technological breakthrough that we're missing.

risc-v looks like itll have commercial computers in the far future, some interesting boards and laptops coming out of places like sifive

NASA is also standardising on RISC-V for all in-space control systems going forward.
