You can! Just not afterward.

Since the switch 2 is an entirely different console, a lot of work will need to be done to emulate it. I would wait several years.

Oh my God it's gonna happen. Teenagers are gonna start learning to install hacked Linux distros that lie about their age for access to porn. This might actually be the biggest boon for tech literacy ever.

"and that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make"

I expect people to be able to obtain a laptop for 50 or 100 bucks, which they apparently can. Manufacturers should have to reckon with that fairly, or lose business.

I want to destroy new device culture.

Mine has a replaceable battery, in theory I can buy whatever quality level of battery I want :3

Again, 1200% the price.

Do those things warrant 6x the price? Or, in reality, 12x the price? Let's be real here, the exact hardware specs down to material aside, is it?

No, 8gb of RAM (obviously older DDR but still) and 256gb or storage.

Of course the CPU and other older components will be less powerful, but like... What do we use computers for now that we didn't in 2017? AI? Oh nooooo, what will I ever do without local AI... It all works the same, at a pretty decent speed running Bazzite (cause I wanted to see how it ran games. It topped out at Skyrim Special Edition running at 15fps, did good at fallout New Vegas though).

I got a bargain, but say you can only get it now for double what I paid. That's 1/6 the price. Why pay 600% more for a computer that's not even that much better?

I got a laptop from 2017 off eBay for $50 with those same specs. Installed Linux on it and it was good to go. 600 is absolutely outrageous in a world where used hardware exists.

We have a nice thing, it's called Emacs. You're not gonna find a for-profit company that will put your experience before its profits. That is impossible by definition. It really sucks.

Imagine if your computer was extremely high spec, but could only run any process for a maximum of about 20 minutes. That would be... Just awful.

That being said, it looks like this study is pretty flawed.
