Oh stop it. Plenty of used computers are perfectly fine. There isn't a single thing you need done that can't be done with a 15 year old PC. You don't need "agentic AI" to generate horse slop in your home, you don't need terabytes of pirated content you can't watch anyway, you don't need video games.

We live in the golden era of thrifting PCs and disconnecting from the slop and nonsense of modern computing.

My apologies! I didn't realize you were the arbiter of what I do and don't need. I feel so relieved now that I can just ignore all of the demands on my life and just hand over such authority to some opinionated jackass I met on lemmy.
