I've got a 1999 Powerbook G3 open that I'm making some music on right now. Some of the processes take a long time so I keep my X200 (13 years!) next to me as well to have something to do in between. 1999 isn't all of a quarter of a century, but there's a Quadra in the other room which will be 30 this year and also still sees some use. It's not that the new stuff isn't nice, but I still haven't managed to exhaust the potential of stuff from 20 years ago for my music at least. So I can just stay off the upgrade cycle, which feels quite good. For non-music, save for TLS, Hackernews could of course also work well on old hardware. Most websites you could also get the functionality, if not the exact experience. But alas, that's not the way the world went, and although a ten-year-old PC in 2022 is a lot more "current" than a 10-year-old PC was in 2012, it still seems like we will keep being dragged forwards by developers wanting more shiny things and hardware manufacturers who want to sell hardware.
