@yogthos This is what capitalism has wrought: In my (extreme) youth, the brightest minds on the planet were doing things like sending people to the moon, or sending probes that are now sailing outside of the solar system (and still largely functioning!).
The brightest minds today are trying to figure out how to get more ads in front of my eyes and nothing "modern" I've bought in the last decade lasts even 5 years if treated with kid gloves.
