This is kind of a shit article. Most of these are just old hardware that eventually had modern improvements, not “trends.”
A “trend” is cold cathode black lights inside the case, not a silly naming scheme for CPU revisions.
IDK I would say 3d monitors are a trend that died pretty hard
A trend implies a level of popularity. There was none.
It’s ultimately just failed (or “pre-successful”) technology that wasn’t able to do the job well enough at a sufficient price to develop a market.
I love my 3 monitor setup 🥲
How was IDE a hardware trend?
It’s an XDA article, what did you expect.
None of these are trends. They’re all hardware standards, and all but one of them are still very much here anyway
I remember my first serious build, blue acrylic case with as much black light reactive components I could get
My case is an old Tower Server Case tucked away behind my monitors. Loads of space and no need for cable management.
That bastard would slice you open and gut you like a pig at the first opportunity though.
I have sacrificed to the case god already
The worst is still around: that GPU’s require more and more power. I wished more focus on efficiency. Not long until water cooling is mandatory, to get all the heat away.
The lack of PsyX cards is upsetting.
Unfortunately those cards come and went so fast that the LLM that wrote this “article” didn’t have enough data on this
The capacitor plague era, ever wonder why we don’t see a lot of PC’s in the early 2000s, this is why as everything with a cap would fail and kill the boards, essentially having to call on the oem to fix it.
Intel’s slot CPU interface. Sure it cleaned up motherboard layouts but the need for more comprehensive cooling solutions that would soon follow made this a bad direction to go in.

Curved monitors.
I like them better than flat in ultrawide.They have their justification too.
