@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange We are going from "collecting boxes of old tech from swap meets as a hoarder" to "buying old tech on eBay for Nx the original price since no one makes good optical drives, physical scanners, etc anymore". I guess some audiophiles have been doing this for decades, but they also go overboard. I've long identified with how a character from Vinge's Rainbows End would want to keep around his then highly illegal laptop that lacks all the mandatory DRM.
