Let’s see
Cars worked better before a computer chips
Ovens worked better before computer chips
Pretty much everything can run without computer chips
C’mon man. We need a way to track your a$$.
That’s for sure.
And refrigerators!
Depending on how you define better, of course.
Back in 1950s, you’d be lucky to get 50k out of a car. Today 200k is not uncommon. How’s that flat screen tv workin for ya? Want that black and white 200 lb CRT back?
I agree!
1970, a full size Chevy pickup truck with a 350 small block got 7mpg. My 2001 F150 4x4 with 280,000 miles on it gets 15-16mpg. It fires right up every morning, even when it's single digit temps outside, with no pumping the gas pedal or even giving it one press to set the choke.
It has no cell phone connection. I can stick my scan tool on it and diagnose the problem in a couple of minutes in many if not most cases. It will even tell me which cylinder is misfiring if any.
That is a remarkable inaccurate statement for this point in history. Almost everything uses semiconductors.
