just get yourself a UV flashlight, or bring some flowers to your nearest laser tag arena. this is just how stuff looks under blacklight sometimes (which isn't to say it isn't cool, just that you don't need fancy tech to see it),
people that wax nostalgic for the 1950s are either:
A) folks who only see how advantageous it was for a white middle class cis straight man with a GI Bill, and just forget and ignore the rest of the reality of the era, or
B) folks that actively want to roll back civil rights for minorities, and would probably prefer the 1850s, if only they had pickup trucks back then.
love em. i'm actually working as a programmer for a game right now where procedural level generation is one of my main foci. sure, like any game system, it can be done poorly, and it's not everyone's cuppa tea, but i like it.
possibly your client gets confused because its a mastodon, not lemmy, account? i was able to look him up just fine on his instance (but i wish i hadn't).
my answer varies quite a bit depending on whether we mean tech that will be relegated to specific niche use cases and markets, tech that will no longer be produced at all, or tech that can't be found any more, even used.
the first category could include a lot of things, like most of the other suggestions that have already been suggested here, but i don't think there's any chance of blu-ray discs or desktop computers being totally gone in that time frame. the second category will probably include small gasoline powered cars, at least in some countries. and the third category will probably include most standard incandescent or CFL light bulbs, but they might still exist in some niche applications.
regarding your edit, it was hardly a perfect solution. he just bit his lip real hard. that was his message to himself. i think it's mentioned a few paragraphs before he tells mcgonnagall about it. it is in there, but it is easy to miss on the first read through, to be sure.
from my understanding, the ai cult initially sprang up on the forum he hosted (hosts? idk), but he didn't exactly start it, any more than Queen Elizabeth II invented punk rock.
but he did write the fanfic, and it's honestly pretty good. low bar i know, but dude's a better author than jowling ever was, and i definitely recommend it to anyone into HP fanfics.
if i'm cooking it over a fire, cheap yellow mustard and orange sauce is my go to. if i'm frying it in a pan, i also like to add some peanut butter to the pan so it cooks up with the grease, and turns into a delicious peanut-y third sauce. a little bit of bacon bits can never go wrong too if it's available.
