Spot the error.
I still have a small-ish Centrino laptop from 2004 that's running Windows XP. It's been airgapped for roughly 10 years (wifi broke and at some point there were no updates for XP) but it's getting occasional use as a portable DVD player. I don't get why you'd willingly buy an old machine to be constrained but I hate throwing out old stuff that still works. And this does.

Working with old technology also gives you valuable insight into the worlds current latency-poor bloated software. You might be able to run the latest but with latency that is hidden on modern machines now painfully visible, you might think otherwise. This leads to choosing software that is fast, minimal, and effective.
