But you need a whole second desk to fit them and they make that awful buzzing sound!
I gave up watching a show (Smallville) because it was too much of a pain to find a tape to use in the VCR, make sure there was enough room to record my show without recording over something else, finding which tape had which episode, and watching the episodes while still leaving the tapes at the start of my wife's recorded program.
Once the era of DVRs and then streaming hit, watching shows became SO much more convenient.

I feel like I'm one of the few people with absolutely no nostalgia for "the old times (early 2000/2010s)" but to point a specific thing that I'm particularly glad is no longer a thing... Being forced to use a shitty laptop that could barely boot and not having GPS coverage everywhere is pretty high up there...
Makeup. I miss women's makeup prior to instagram being a thing. Instagram really fucked our shit up. Makeup before was so... natural, when compared to what is used today. It normalized products used for photoshoots in the day-to-day, gave up the dreaded insta-brow trend, and is the reason why so many woman wear such crazy thick fake lashes every day.
Sometimes I look up celebrity makeup prior to Instagram, and the difference is just staggering. I wanna go back to that.
Dutch summers: Tempratures averaging around 20C, tops at 25C overcast 50% of the days, rain (drizzles).. loved it. Better then average around 30C, tops at 40C+, no rain for months and clear skies all around.
Duckhunt: Unplayable on non-CRT. Gave the Nintendo with th gun and game to a friend which bought my last CRT.
Corona: Not the pandamenic, but everything else, the quiet, not being allowed to go to the office,... finally quiet and peace, no enforced social non-sense that all extroverts can't live without. (The beer as well, miss it)
