> What I mean is such a standard says that 1990-2018 was all unaffordable. 2019 was basically the only year that qualifies.
Nah, the period around 1080 was honestly the golden age, before the age of RTX ushered the pest that is AI.
> In terms of e-waste, if you look at an unfixable mini computer with core parts that on average die 2 years sooner than a full-size computer, it causes less e-waste because it's so much smaller.
I don't think any particular component in a PC has the same amount of waste as a Mac Mini. And replacing a component is part of 3R (Reuse, Reduce, Recycle).
> They can sell bigger chips that cost more money to power users, why would they not care?
Because power users have less money than large corporations and governments. By selling you an GPU for $1000 that could be sold for $10000, they are losing the $9000 on each sale.
> But even if it was just phone chips
Not just Phone chips, locked down sanitized spy garden. It's very hard to do anything remotely creative on a phone like programming or rendering. You want to use your phone as a Desktop? That's not allowed. It's called War on General Computing. Not war on Consumer Computers.
