      Bullshit. My aunt has a washing machine with all knobs and switches that’s probably 30+ years old and it still works fine.

      They need to stop putting all these digital components into washing machines or make the boards standardized so they can be easily swapped out. These aren’t laptops that you toss after 3-5 years. Appliances should last 10-20 years.

          Agreed but in most larger businesses swap out the laptops around 3-5 years.

          Consumers use laptop 5-10+ until they die.
