What's something you wish would "come back" but you feel like you're the only one that cares? (self.asklemmy)

Couple of things for me.

One is tiny croutons. I don't see them anywhere anymore. They taste the same but it's kind of a pain sometimes to keep the big ones on your fork. The small ones were a little more satisfying to snack on too.

Second is Blue Nehi. Never met anyone else that's tried or heard of it. Damn it was good though. Big Blue is kinda similar but those always taste under carbonated.

I wish Microsoft would come back in the ways in how they developed Windows XP and 7. You know, when they cared. Ever since 8/8.1 it's been nothing but Microsoft telling themselves "hold my beer" as they took as many shots as possible, to water Windows down to where it is today.

I think Microsoft is catering to the wrong audience that Microsoft thinks all of their Windows users are - casual, middle-aged users. It really shows because of how stupid simple the settings are in Windows now. What was wrong with Windows XP? It had a good balance, you could treat it casually or treat it in advanced. It felt even better with Win7.

But anytime you express an opinion about old OSes and how good they were. All that anybody ever responds with is "DUH SECURITY! THINK OF THE SECURITY! WHY WULD U USE AN OLD OS?! U JUST WUNT BE ABLE TO USE IT WITH ALL OF THE UPDATES!1" and some shit. Well, guess what this "Security" have gotten us? Where we are now with Windows. Go pat yourself on the back for that, idiot.
