Empathy with machinery, particularly computers...

[Mister Obvious]

If you did all the work yourself, were willing to take things apart and keep upgrading the innards, you could have 'em last 15 years. We really should see how much life we can suck out of these computers.

Steampunk vibes, we get super technologically advanced, but we hold onto old stuff and just keep patching it up on some Frankenstein shit.
