The 1-5 year upgrade cycles that so many companies are pushing seem criminally wasteful to me.

I'm 100% on board with companies rotating their machines out every few years and selling them to the second-hand market (because that's how I get good hardware at great prices:D). So long as everyone just sells old stuff off, by the time a machine actually gets thrown out for good it can have had a decade+ of life across owners, and everyone along the way got it for cheap.
