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.

Heat pumps work great and are super common to install on homes where winter temps drop well below that. They're so efficient they're worth it even if you use supplemental heat for the coldest part of the year.

Andor was indeed great

    We have heat pumps at my job for our factory.

    They are literally useless around of below freezing in the experience here.

    They exchange heat so they blow out air colder than outside air, then their entire radiator gets completely covered in ice, then it has to switch off and then the entire factory cools off while they have to turn on the resistive heaters to defrost themselves, then they turn themselves back on and because they are covered in water from defrosting, very quickly freeze again and the whole cycle repeats while the factory is very marginally warmed up during the cycle.
