Maybe the tariffs will serve to cull a bit of the consumist impulse the US suffers of.

Regarding if a machine is desirable or not: I'm still seeing Windows XP machines being sold today for over 100€. No monitor, no peripherals, no nothing: just the machine. And people needing a machine to type a report, do a spreadsheet, do basic office work, with no other option, pay for it.

i run my machines until they stop working, period.
