    they have deified the consumer product. they forget that the thing is useless after 5 to 10 years no matter how clean you keep it or what stickers you put on it. they forget it’s just a tool

      I wouldn’t say useless, maybe if you do CAD work or something.

      I know multiple people who daily drive 10+ year-old devices. I’d say everything from Haswell and up is still perfectly usable for everyday tasks.
