On one hand, I am legitimately happy for them.

On the other hand, I miss being able to afford computers, consoles and other electronic devices that have RAM and/or other forms of storage in them.

On the third hand, I'm not sure the second thing is likely to ever be a thing again in my lifetime unless there is a rather severe economic crash preceding it, which is, you know, also not great.

kids have more fun with a SNES than they do with a PS5. office runs fine on 2010 era thinkpads. I get by with the cheapest possible nokia. a perceived need for modern tech conveniences is artificially engineered to program consumption behaviour into the uneducated or unwilling. I presume you fall into the latter camp and have your reasons, I don't believe such a decision could accurately be extrapolated to society at large.
