We talk a lot about enshittification of technology, so tell me about technology that is getting better!

I personally love the progress of electric scooters. I’ve been zooming around on a 400$ escooter for a year and it works so well.

        No guarantees that you won’t have to do a bit of research of you’ve got particular hw or sw that you want to use, but as far as a general purpose os it has it all
