I tend to not really care for most new things, as most of it feels cheap, inauthentic or a scam to further the surviellance facist oligarchy state. Id be completely content with time frozen in 2004.

So, to be a little more positive, what are some new things that are actually good?

Note, to me, new is within the last 10 years.

I'll start. The fediverse concept is neat.

And for those not aware, by "close" they meam that solid-state batteries are being manufactured in mass this year.

Plus sodium batteries are going online too, though at a much lower rate due to the cost of lithium going down causing many sodoum battery manufacturers to declare bankruptcy since they're having trouble with sales

    Sodium companies closing is incredibly painful because also if you look at the reasons, outside of Northvolt, it is literally all startups where their investors pulled out and screwed them because lithium prices dropped and they wanted to recoup their costs with 30% market share on week 1 of launch (exaggeration of course)

    Proving yet again that rich fucks are complete and total idiots who can't look any further at all than 4-8 quarters.

    China sodium is luckily going strong, so we have a fallback when lithium prices inevitably spike yet again.

    Are we talking about the Donut Labs battery, or is someone alse promising to bring solid state batteries to market this year? My gut says Donut Labs is like 1/8 odds of coming through.
