By that definition, there are almost no production systems in real life. Because what you really, really need is air, warmth and water. Anything else is disposable, a convenience. So what if the internet access breaks - just plug in an old

8 gigs of RAM? SSD disk? 2.4GHz (incorrectly stated as MHz)? factory image is 4 GB in size? All this for a router? I'm no expert by any metric, but that's one hell of an overkill IMHO. Shit, dude, my home pc is weaker in almost al

suuuuure 3.5mm is dying. Just as uUsb is dead. Seriously, though, it's an well-established standard with design that has withstood the test of time. It is not dying today. Nor tomorrow.
