Name technology/technologies that you like (or even dislike maybe) that aren't just consumer electronics/software. So much discussion of technology is just new computer stuff.

Hopin' China's reforesting tech proves sustainable. Also Prolekult/James Bell was mentioning hempcrete, which is another that I'd think would help a lot. Hopin' for new sword technology. . .

Democratic Germany produced a brand of glassware named Superfest. Through an innovative production process it was eight times harder than other types of glass making a Superfest glass very hard to break.
Planners in democratic Germany believed Superfest to have great potential as an export since it was superior to competing products. It turned out they were wrong, western distributors of glassware were not interested in selling their customers a glass that lasted and reduced the need to buy replacements. Following the annexation of democratic Germany the organisation tasked with dismantling Democratic Germany's industrial economy, the Treuhand, shut down the plant and abandoned the patent.
And that's why we can't have durable pint glasses under capitalism.
Fun fact, those glasses are very similar to the gorilla glass that we use on phone screens
I saw a tiktok recently where a group was trying to revive Superfest as drinking glasses. No idea is it went anywhere.
Tale as old as time. (Time = post ww2)
Just like the instapot.
Why make it good when you can make it shit?
Man I want some of these
What's the patent why couldn't someone just make it now
Why would someone make it now? Selling people a glass every six months is going to be a better businesses proposition than selling them one that lasts every five years.
I mean like you or me
I don't know about you but I don't have an industrial glassworks and access to distribution chains at my disposal
Clearly you're a bad citizen who doesn't own capital
