Just like all subscriptions this kills my interest in it. Tech is only interesting if it isn’t locked in a corporate data center.

you must be really bored with pretty much all the popular tech today then

I'm bored with most of the new flashy products, but that just leads to me tinkering more with things I already have or fun new open source projects. It's somewhat a hobby of mine to maximize the potential of old hardware with better software.

Not the person you’re responding to but yes, pretty much all of modern tech is awful.

The specs are pretty good but then you don’t really own it, you get limitations on what you can use it for, you get rent seeking and walled gardens everywhere. Even if you’re paying you get ads and get tracked. Updates make products worse more often than not.

What are you excited about? AI slop?

... and? Nothing wrong with not buying into what's popular.
