    Just a reflection of our wasteful culture. If it was up to the likes of Google, Samsung, etc. we’d all be buying new tech annually.

      Precisely! As long as consumers continue to play their game, they’ll keep upping the ante.

      My main computers are 8+ years old running Linux and performing astoundingly well.

      Unfortunately, 90% of the time a typical non-savvy consumer buys a new machine it’s for all the wrong reasons and they really don’t have to. They just don’t know better.
