Incidentally, this is such a great illustration of how fucked up the whole consumerist economy is. The article makes it pretty clear that most people are perfectly happy with the way their computer functions, but they're expected to be buying new ones just to keep the economy going. If people use the computers they currently have that's seen as a negative economically.
The newest PC I own is from 2014. The latest CPU µArch I know is Haswell. Zen Four? Sapphire Rapids? Funny fantasy names.
It annoys me though how newer video cards only come with DP and HDMI ports anymore. I'm still one of those people who actively use DVI and see no reason to get rid of my VGA/DVI Monitors, so I'm forced to deal with adapters. Fucking Capitalists.
