This is happening in all aspects of consumer electronics. Broad platforms of hardware and software that is cheap enough to meet all the needs then just water it down for the ‘cheaper’ varieties. The consumer has no attention span so everything has to be fresh and totally new with more features every 1-4 years max. Ita what the consumer demands from complex systems so engineers just need to churn shit out as fast as possible and everyone suffers.

Just bought 10 acres and plan to grow the shit out of some veggies. I stare at a screen all day and deal with technical problems, at the end of the way I just want to dig in the dirt and stare at the plants.
