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. It has a range of around 20 miles and top speed of 15 mph, so it works just super well for my uses, and 10 years ago scooters with that range/speed/price were no where near a thing.

Yes! I grew up with Warhammer, and I can't tell you how many times as a teen I wished I could just make my own minis, or print something specific to add on while kitbashing.

Fast forward to today and I have a resin printer, unfortunately my free time is a bit less than it was 20 years ago so it doesn't see as much use as I'd like. God I feel old.
