My phone is from 2009. Nobody forces me to abandon it. What chance
are you not given.
I recently updated much of my PC after 9 years, but not because I was
forced to. In our office we tend to use the machines for 15-20 years.
E.g., our web server was bought in 2021 and replaced one from 2005.
But the 2005-vintage machine is still there and can be used when the
need arises.
What takes the chance from you to use your hardware for longer if you
want to?
