I’m glad that now the “first world” understands that it’s not necessary to change hardware every three years. Here in South America, and specifically in Argentina, we do it because there’s no other option.
But some of us do it as a political decision. We don’t let ourselves be swayed by market forces. “Know your hardware as you know yourself.” Constant replacement is part of the strategy of the computing oligarchs. It’s good that the first world is realizing this.
