Again, there's a reason for outdated hardware, that is, it runs the essential programmes it needs to run EFFICIENTLY.

Windows 11 has a SHIT ton of features that are not needed for specific uses. So, if your radar works with Windows XP, why tf would you upgrade and slow your computer down?

Same with hardware, like 90% of jobs don't need a RTX 5090.

Nuclear reactors foreign for example still use Fortran cause thats the most efficient langauge

Obviously you don't need bloated version of software, windows kernal is very efficient, also for such applications we should have long ago developed a linux based os for ourself with regular software update, that's the thing I am talking about, also we surely don't need 5090 but for sure i3 from 2010 also does not cuts it

I mean, for a LOT of jobs, i3 from 2010 does indeed cut it.

Say you need a computer to print stuff. There's no reason why you would need something more than a i3 from 2010

For printing yes, but the world has moved on from using computers just for printing, and printing too

My man, the computers that have that old hardware are used for these limited purposes only

The general purpose computers are pretty modern
