Android touchscreen phones with physical slide-out qwerty (though I would have preferred Colemak ;)) keyboards like the Sony Xperia Mini Pro. So much quicker and more comfortable to touch-type on (ironic, no? :)), I barely ever made any typos.

technically it wouldn't take much (or anything really) for people to transition to a v6 overlay network and get this back again. but i'm afraid that the value of an intermediary-free internet isn't really perceptible enough to drive adoption, even if you made it completely painless. I meet an awful lot of people, even in tech, that are surprised and shocked that you can use a computer thats not sitting right in front…
More relevantly its also largely out of the power of citizens to make the transition. Especially in the US where you often have no choice in ISP, if they don't provide static IPv6 addresses theres nothing you can do.
Ubuntu's Unity desktop. People really hated it because (IMHO) it had a really rocky launch. Ubuntu replaced a very usable GNOME 2.x desktop with an alpha-quality replacement. And Canonical was riding high from having "won" the Linux for desktop game and was pushing their weight around, giving the impression that they were ignoring the feedback from their users. Unity wasn't without its missteps. But it matured quite…
For the first time of me using Ubuntu (ver 18.04), I was disappointed in the fact that I had to re-learn some things and then get used to the new workflow when everything in 16.04 and Unity in particular was muscle memory.
The promise of a decentralised internet where the distinction between producer and consumer is entirely up to the person at the keyboard.
There's still hope in this front
I just thought, would Linux's "init" fall under this category with systemd. I am not from Linux background but I've been reading about this recently.
I think systemd is a bad thing but I also don't think pre-systemd init systems were a "good product".

PS vita. Powerful handheld. Dual analog sticks. Great hardware. Lots of good games but it could never compete with the smart phones. 3DS didn't do too well either as compared to DS. I don't think we'll see a dedicated handheld gaming device any time soon. I'm sad because I don't really enjoy playing games on my mobile phone.

size of Vita is more comfortable for portable gaming, and it is way more comfortable to play than Switch(controller ergonomics aren't great in Switch).
