Why would people still be using a computer from 2010? That might have made sense in 2015, but beggars belief in 2026.

- account42 6mo agoNot everyone has a well paying tech job. Many have to use their devices until they literally die and many more choose to do so because getting a newer device would mean having to deal with the bullshit of newer software.
- StilesCrisis 6mo agoI have family on fixed incomes. They don't use 15 year old computers. They simply don't last that long.
- dingaling 6mo agoI've just 'upgraded' a friend who was using a ThinkPad T410, released Jan 2010. So sixteen years. There was nothing mechanically wrong with it except it was capped at 8GB RAM and chugged along slowly. They're now on a T480, released 2018.
- amatecha 6mo agoYeah I was daily-driving a 2012 machine (X230) until 2024, when I then switched to a 2018 ThinkPad which I'm still using.
