My current laptop is 7 years old, and I Love It!

I still even play games with it. Not the newest stuff, but I have such a huge backlog of indies and not-so-new games that I could play for 15 years...

If someone told me this will be garbage in 3 years... I would hit them with the laptop. It's a T470p, their skull is the part that would break.

I kinda disagree. If you need something to connect to the internet, it needs to be rather up to date.

But that already happens all the time. Vedy often the rights end up in the hands of some corporation and the author gets to have ~zero say in how it's used.

Doesn't seem to have been a particularly big issue.

Yeah, because Italians totally have no idea how to build a car.

Edit: a gentle reminder that e.g. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani, Ducati, Dallara and DeTomaso come from exactly the same area as Parmigiano, Bolognese sauce, Parma ham, lasagne, and Bologna sausage.

Italy does not, indeed, have too much to offer with respect to computers and the internet.
