Apparently Microsoft claims that once a computer turns four years old, it'll cost companies $4,000 per computer they _don't_ upgrade, due to hardware failures and hardware related data breaches.
I find this _completely_ unbelievable. For one thing, several years ago I bought an entire stack of retired Core 2 Duo Dell Optiplex 960's from a college, where several have been put into near continuous use, and not one has suffered a single hardware failure since. And these are now 14 years old iirc.

@codythedragonrude Microsoft is also the company that doesn't support computers more than about four years old for Windows 11...

@OpenComputeDesign Just remember that microsoft is the same company that shut down original xbox live when millions of people were still playing halo 2 because they were too dumb to update their own servers to something that could be supported
their solution is literally buy the master chief collection which had to be fixed to even function properly
luckily we have people who are smart and know how to support a service https://youtu.be/DmvDgNAvdWM

As for security, are there really that significant of _hardware_ security advancements happening?
Because I tend to hear far more about all the new hardware ways of _tracking_ your computer.
