I’m putting this in chat and not in Technology because I’m also wondering about things like clothes, appliances—basically any sort of consumer product, virtual or physical, you can think of that you feel has retained some standard of quality and has not yet been enshittified. I would start by saying that Wikipedia has not yet been enshittified, but perhaps you disagree? Post is inspired by this video.
EDIT: coyotino correctly points out that Wikipedia isn’t a product but a service; poor word choice on my part, just trying to cast a wide a net as possible here in the hopes of making a list of “things that are still good that don’t suck.” Like I said, a wide net 🙂.
Partial rebuttal. If you increase the power draw, you need more pins dedicated to power and ground. Without reducing functions, this needs a different footprint. They have had issues with some CPUs in the past. bugs in complex systems are basically unavoidable, its just in hardware you can’t just issue a software patch to fix it 100% with no negative effects.
Nvidia has been anti-competitive as long as I can remember. They put out dev tools that basically break games on AMD. That’s just their operating model. I don’t know that that’s enshittifying as it often makes their own product better, its just being an anti-competitive ass.
I can’t comment too much to your other points. I think some of the memory was down to the memory chip makers, not the product makers, but I can’t back that up.
