Flying Cars
I know many, many people want flying cars to be a real thing. But, what is always going to prevent us from having true flying cars is, look at how people normally are with the cars on the ground. Drunk driving is tenfold going to be worse with flying cars, people are going to totally fly their vehicles into buildings, for sure. I think the closest we’re going to get to flying cars, is the hover cars we see in Back to the Future II that are more ground level, but hover. Even then, I don’t know if we’re ever going to be ready for them.
True AI
What I mean with True AI is an AI that can actually be a little more sentient and living than what we got now. When AI first rolled out, it really put a damper on everyone in so many ways that I don’t think we’re ever going to see it. There’s just too much at stake to trust an AI with the capability to think on its own and do things on its own. We’re just going to be stuck with Semi-AI that only talk back to you in text form and maybe help you code. And that alone already has ruffled the feathers of millions who are hating AI which is another thing to consider.
Software. There are still a few holdouts like Mullvad, but over the years a lot of good software have turned to shit because of greed. Bitwarden is next sadly, as their new CEO comes from private equity and M&A.
Plenty of good software exists. Just look at all the open source software we have!
Jellyfin. Have you heard of Jellyfin? What about Jellyfin‽ doesn’t do what you need it to? Doesn’t matter - use Jellyfin!!!
I just host my media openly to the LAN and view it with VLC. In the past I made it open to the internet as well and just didn’t care if someone else found it too but currently I have no use for it away from home and using 4G for home internet makes hosting things take an extra step of effort I can’t be bothered with.
