The continued hunt for Windows XP ISOs isn’t nostalgia—it’s a quiet rebellion against planned obsolescence and modern bloat. This article explores how a 24-year-old OS became a symbol of user control, and what it reveals about the trade-offs we’ve made for ‘progress.’
The mouse was built for serial work — one cursor, one task, one window at a time. But AI agents have made our work parallel, and our input devices haven’t caught up.

We need a new kind of hardware — tactile, spatial, haptic — that lets our hands do what they’re built to do. The mouse is dead. Something new must replace it.
