Electromechanical stuff. Like old jukeboxes, pinball machines or anything else that required programming before the widespread use of microcontrollers.

Some people have already mentioned stuff akin to this, like the mechanical govenor, or the post abt THIS MUSEUM IS NOT OBSOLETE, but it really deserves its own thread.

Technology Connections on YouTube has made some great videos about devices like that.

Neither sure how to call it, nor is it a technology, more like a mindset. I am just gonna name it: "Prideful Craftsmanship"

Basically the incorporation of "useless" decorations and embellishments, to show off ones skill and maybe market oneself a little. Definitely superseded in the capitalist world. Things were just prettier or more interesting to look at, even stuff that wasn't meant to be flashy.

But with nearly everything being made to a price point, this practice has been somewhat lost.

But that's not a thing for intel CPUs either, at least not anymore.

I'm not sure why, but Nvidia hasn't been making chipsets/motherboard sfor quite a while. Or was there a point in time when it only made chipsets for intel CPUs?

Not sure if "OG Nazis" only include the first generation, but their Children were pretty much brainwashed.

You can look up "Hitler Jugend" If you want, that organisation basically indoctrinated children while growing up. Right when humans are the easiest to manipulate.

I'd wager that, maybe, you were right.

You sent me down a little rabbit hole, depending on how one defines sedan, the lightest I could find is the Peel P50 at roughly 60 kg. A better fit weight wise could be the Isetta at roughly 350 kg.

But neither option, including the robin feels like a proper sedan to me, and only the robin really checks the basic requirements.

Afaik the term "sedan" doesn't really define the amount of wheels, but I don't tend to think of a three wheeled vehicle.

So the first four wheeled sedan style car that came to mind was the Trabant, but that's still 600kg.

Idk what the point of this text is...

Have a nice day, I guess?

Well, they'd only need enough batteries to cover the distance without overhead lines. So for shortish sections it's probably fine, just charge while on the powered section.
