Less messy computer designs. Computers with RS-232. The old IBM PC Model F keyboard (even with unlimited rollover). The .DVI (device independent) file format for printing. GOTO and GOSUB commands in programming languages. Unencrypted analog television. The PC BIOS (UEFI is terrible). BASIC and/or Forth in ROM.
