Exactly! In yesterday's thread I describe my experience with a laptop that is over a decade old: https://breloma.m0xee.net/objects/5c58ccb2-b045-4fc3-bdeb-0cf0754fcae3
I think that is still perfect for absolute most of my everyday tasks. In modern laptops a lot of the features that I like about this one get sacrificed for more performance — performance that most never asked for. Long gone are the days when getting new computer meant serious quality of life improvements.

At this point, people want their hardware to just keep working, keep being repairable, but they are being forced to upgrade their hardware in order to keep using the software that often allows them to do the same things. That's pretty insane 😩
