It wasn't entirely about the noise. Concorde passenger flights weren't a good business due to high operating costs.

O B S E S S E D
at this point I'm convinced they're bots
I've been wanting one of those so freaking badly for a decade, for the ass wash alone.
They are 100% used in south korea too.
>technology that exists but they're holding it back
Small form-factor computers (held back by smartphoneshit)
All kinds of internet protocols (held back by http and webshitters)
Operating systems (held back by unix and windows)
Basically every other technology (held back by the mindless search for short-tem profits)

They are overrated, the civilized world uses a bidet
>Small form-factor computers (held back by smartphoneshit
small form factor computers have existed before smartphones you moronic zoomer
>small form factor computers have existed before smartphones you moronic zoomer
I don't mean laptops and I don't mean PDAs either(I was using a PDA 20 years ago so shut up projecting zoomhomosexual), they were extremely limited and the miniaturization of batteries and cpus was not there yet to make them useful.
I mean actual phone sized computers with a keyboard and a real OS, the tech is there to make them and some examples exist from China, but nobody is willing to invest in them seriously because touchshit ruined EVERYTHING.
you maid cumpooter trannies are insufferable. why do you presume enough people want that to make it viable?. they don't. if keyboards on phones were an important enough feature blackberry would still exist, for example. there is no use case for such a device to be commercially viable.
>maid cumpooter
I am not the maidschizo.
>why do you presume enough people want that to make it viable?. they don't.
The thread is about "held back technologies", you just basically proved I am right.
Also people are moronic cattle and their opinion is irrelevant and manipulated by big tech.
>Complains about the lack of small form factor computers, advocates for separate bidets that are huge wastes of space when washlets and seat attached bidets exist
At least be consistent.
Just use your showerhead
You can buy an add on for a regular toilet from the chinks.
this, but also most people dont have power in their shit house and organising that costs more than the seat.
Not all toilets support such addons, in most cases you will need very specific toilets, and usually those kinds of toilets sell their own addon at ridiculous prices.
Also you need additional power socket installed by an electricity, potentially an additional water output or water splitter installed by a plumber.
The total costs are so crazy the west can't bother with it.
You sound like a helpless baby. Only non-standard designer toilets are incompatible with cheap bidet add-ons. You only need electricity if you want heated water, a seat warmer, ass dryer and stuff like that. If you just need a stream of water on your butthole, water pressure from your waterline is more than enough to accomplish the task. A t-valve is easy to install inline with the existing water supply line to the toilet. Most bidet kits come with the t-valve and some plumbers tape so all you really need is a wrench and an IQ higher than room temperature.
>Not all toilets support such addons, in most cases you will need very specific toilets
If it fits a toilet seat, it fits one of these.
>Also you need additional power socket
Surely you have at least one in your bathroom/toilet, right? It doesn't even need to be GFCI because these come it built into the plug itself.
>potentially an additional water output or water splitter installed by a plumber.
Part of the kit. Just need to turn off your water before installing it.
Ewwwww. I don't want other people's shit and piss particles sprayed right against my own anus. Disgusting!
>I don't want other people's shit and piss particles sprayed right against my own anus.
The water comes from the mains, not from the toilet bowl.
You'd only be getting sprayed with shit and piss if that is in the same water you're showering with.
Shit and piss will inevitably hit that little shower head. Get sprayed with previous users shit and piss particles. Ewwwwww.
They're self cleaning but I still would be a bit wary of a public toilet.
>Shit and piss will inevitably hit that little shower head.
Most of them have a door that closed behind them as they retract.
I live in the US and have had a Toto washlet for over a decade. They're stocked in the US so you don't even have to import them. The heated seat is really nice in the winter.
>Toto washlet
took me a second to realize you didn't mean the furry porn artist from japan
Part of me is curious now but the other part of me expects to be horrified if I actually look.
He's pretty good when he's not making GDILF art
>Toilet, Japan
:O
>catching colds
i don't think you're using it right
that shit is expensive
I bought one with ass washing it was 1k euro
ass heating was an option and costed 1k extra
frick that
They're more like $200 in Japan, with washing and heating.
owatta..
>ass heating
just buy a cover LMAO
Ok, abuela.
you can get a chink bidet for $30, self cleaning, poo guard, no electricity required, people here are talking out of their (dirty) butthole
link to that?
https://a.co/d/fA7fg2T
there's more expensive options, but that's the cheap easy way to stop using so much toilet paper
im not clicking a url shortened link
then do your own Amazon searches you moron, tf?
I'm doing this just for you, you special boy.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082HFS8KT
Go on ebay right now and buy one. They fit any toilet with an elongated bowl, which is a widely available standard. I bought one for $160 and now view all bidet-less americans the same way you view street-shitters
Problem with concord is that it burns ozone. High-altitude planes with ion propulsion would replenish ozone and be even cooler
The greatest display tech tragedy ever.
Frick off CRT autismo! Stay in your containment thread.
Why is it so hard for Liquid Cuck Display users to accept the objective superiority of self emissive impulse displays?
OLED is close enough since it can turn off individual pixels for pure blacks. SED would have been amazing though. A lot of great tech never comes to the public, which is sad.
OLED uses PWM to dim individual subpixels and that is unacceptable
>phosphor layer burns out
oopsie
They solved that in late 90s
i would have to smash it with my hammer, like i do to CRTs that i randomly find, so no NERD can ever use them.
See Boom and Aerion startups looking to revive supersonic travel. Besides, the main concerns during the last years of Concorde and Tu-144 were fuel prices, not "soopersoonic fart", as they were outlawed pretty quickly.
>>We could be saving hours traveling around the world but noooo it's too loud
It's not just too loud outside, it's too loud inside as well.
Then there's the problem if having high volume planes crossing the sound barrier. There's a reason why supersonic planes tend to be very sleek.
Concorde didn't have a low capacity just for fun, it was necessary.
And then Concorde also needed really long runways, which ruled out most airports.
>they're holding it back and thus holding us back
The world isn't ready for the droop snoot.
It wasn't held back due to noise, it was rendered obsolete by market changes. Businessmen don't want to commute over the Atlantic, they are perfectly happy to spend three days to fly, do their business, then fly back. Because the Concorde was about speed, not comfort, and guess what business people flying across the Atlantic want? First class.
Virtually free video conferencing and data transfers also has dried up much of the business travel market.

ovens with physical buttons and not touch
Most things with physical buttons and not touch.
SST died because it wasn't profitable. SST's only advantage is speed, everything else about it was much more expensive. Concorde spend most of its life being massive subsidized by UK and living off the niche of same day travel across the Atlantic for business conferences. Teleconferences brought an end to that niche. The crash was just a convenient way of retiring the fleet.
>noooo it's too loud
It wasn't economically viable, that's all.
>sit in cramped tube comparable to cattle class for business class prices
Yeah no. I'll take my lie-flat seats and sleep through most of the flight. Then speed doesn't matter.
>too loud
Unfortunately money was the reason for Concorde's demise. It was hella expensive so it's not as if you'd be buying a ticket anyway - it was exclusively for the rich. Not only that but "loud" doesn't quite cover it, concorde broke the windows of houses below and caused massive insurance claims with sonic booms which is why they've spent decades in R&D just to make it less window-brakey, Skunkworks has been testing a new design even recently.
The new SST design will get into production right around the time point-to-point Starship makes it obsolete.
plasma reactors
>We could be saving hours traveling around the world
And by we of course you mean someone else because (you) can't afford to buy a $2,000 plane ticket to fly from nyc to london
Actually i think Concord tickets were subsidized as a prestige thing so probably more like $4,000 for an economy ticket
Concorde was shit, uncomfortable sits, loud and overall expensive.
Concorde was too expensive even for the richgays, altough it's surprising that there isn't mach 2 private jet.
>it's surprising that there isn't mach 2 private jet
It's illegal to fly supersonic over land, these days supersonic flying is reserver for military use and even then it's just for short periods with afterburners.
RIP, I thought that supersonic was fine at high altitudes.
>It's illegal to fly supersonic over land
70% of earths surface is not land
Concorde was killed by capitalism.
>c-commie
Better wrap it up wagie. Lunch break is almost over.
