    My laptop for home use is almost 15 years old. My desktop is almost 11 years old. My work laptop is 8 years old. Here they are talking about more modern and powerful equipment, defining them as obsolete. I don’t know, maybe we should start questioning if these consumption dynamics are a bit harmful.

          The website maybe, but not the browsers and their video players… >;)

            browsers are not the only way to watch YouTube … mpv is older than most of his machines ;)

            but yeah - i get the point

            nevertheless there is a lot you can do with aged hardware - there are lots of desktops/windowmanagers which will happily run as well

              As someone who first started to load programs into his computer with a cassette tape recorder, I’m aware of that.

              browsers are not the only way to watch YouTube

              Between that and apps on a phone, nothing else comes even close in the percentage of usage for viewing a video on the internet.

              but yeah - i get the point

              Thanks. ]:D
