Old computers that can't run new versions of Windows at an acceptable level of performance can still be useful.
Try installing a free operating system like ReactOS, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, GhostBSD, or Debian GNU/Linux -- or pay a friendly local techie to do it for you.
It might not play your favorite games or run your favorite apps, but if you're willing to learn you can escape the upgrade treadmill, save money, and stick it to the man.

I believe the 2012 apocalypse actually happened, but involved the internet turning into utter shit because of social media, surveillance capitalism, and ignorant techbros who thought their knowledge of JavaScript made them engineers instead of basic code monkeys.

No matter how sexy the new laptops might look, they come pre-loaded with Windows and don't offer #FOSS driver support for #Linux and #BSD.
They're #basic.

@HerraBRE This brings to mind two problems I see so many techies struggle with:
1. They only know one way to skin a cat.
2. If they know multiple ways to skin a cat, they have trouble deciding how best to skin a particular cat.
