I remember the days of the early 2000s pages took ages to load now everything feels too quick I just wish there was a way to limit the speed of pages opening and how long it would take for files to open. If I use a Chromebook it just freezes can't win thanks to the ai it reset loaded with

Nah. That's like if someone told you, "I miss that old-school feeling," I'd say, "yeah, well, it took forever to scroll on your browser window in the middle of a '90s site with a whole page load of text and no pictures. Might have even been running a Mac OS 9 install. You'd think they could have waited for at least five more seconds before trying to get you back into an email."

I used my J4 just fine for two decades before the battery died. Still works on Android if you hit "run" the whole time and leave it charging. Nah, we need a slowdown that feels intentional. My truck's got 190k on it, but it didn't take half an hour to start this morning, feels more like a quick pop-up of steam.
