Going with MacBooks. Used to be you could upgrade RAM and other components. Now, you have to get a new machine.

VGA just worked. HDMI and DP aren’t nearly as reliable.

Roads. Used to lay down concrete and they’d last for a decade. Now they put down asphalt on top of a concrete base. Granted they cost less in the long run to maintain.

Holy shit rose tinted glasses all up in here. Let me be straight with you guys, televisions are definitely better, cell phones are much better, I don't think there's a single (consisting mostly of) electronics (some coffee grinders, maybe some other kitchen appliances) device that existed in the 90s/naughts that I would take over it's current iteration.

TVs

Movies. You used to be able to just buy them and own the data.

Now you have to pray the other party doesn't 'alter the deal' and if you are proactive about safekeeping the stuff you own you're a 'thief'.

Analog cable with a cable-ready TV was better than digital cable. No set-top box with bullshit rental fees, no weird lag waiting for it to "boot up" or change channels, no interactivity so they couldn't easily try to upsell you, etc.
