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.

    Near-field radio-wave shenanigans might fake it. There’s all kinds of electromagnetism passing through you and you’re interfering with some of it. Resolution is limited by wave-length… unless the sensor is within that distance. That’s still going to be blurry, but deconvolution mmmight recover enough detail to go “yep, that’s broken.”
