The Thinkpad T460 i bought 9 years ago was passed on to a family member after a couple years and is still in use. I don’t know how that’s wasteful.
If I had bought a Framework I would have bought a new mainboard and I can’t pass a mainboard on, I can’t use it as a cheap home server. The old mainboard would have been electronic waste.

Wait, why wouldn’t you 3D print (or order) the official mainboard enclosure and use it as a cheap home server? You could at least sell it or pass it along to someone else who would.

The XPS 13 I bought like eight years ago will eventually turn to dust just... Watching YouTube videos on my desk. The battery died five years back so I replaced it. Dell emailed me to tell me that Windows 10 was out of support, I've had Linux on it for years now. I also have an EeePC.
