   So much cases of people changing hardware because of software obsolescence, that’s depressing.

     @liaizon @rozina remember that Apple believes using 5 years old hardware is "really sad" https://www.cnet.com/culture/using-a-pc-is-sad-says-apples-schiller/

     @rozina I have an iPhone 8, which is about 5 years old.

     @liaizon @raphael :thaenkin: what iphone do you have? i've currently got the xr, and i'm worried that it might be made obsolete soon, even though it works perfectly fine and could last me at least 10 years, if not more.

     if worst comes to worst and i'm forced to upgrade, i'll probably buy the fairphone since that seems like the most sustainable and more affordable option

     @yhancik @liaizon @rozina This kind of thinking spins me into a special dimension of pissed off. Not only do I use a 10 year-old Thinkpad, but I consider it one of my core dev tools. I'll probably give it a funeral when it finally bites the big one.
