My GTX 1060 is still a perfectly serviceable 1080p gaming card for reasonable settings on a lot of games. I do not like the fact that companies just get to decide when I don't get to keep using my hardware how I want. My iPhone 13 worked as good as most phones up until I decided to trade it in 4+ years later for a 17 Pro. My soundbar keeps doing its job for as long as I want it to. My TV does not stop playing shows and movies 10 years later. The core function of any product should continue to be supported indefinitely for it's core functions. The real issue here is that these companies have R&D and marketing strategies that have created markets where some products are replaced too frequently only for the purpose of revenue. My fridge is 10 years old and still keeps my food cold. I had a 40-year VW Beetle that I drove to work every day for 10 years. It was up to me to sacrifice my safety and modern amenities for a cheap way to commute.

Thank you for helping to keep GamingOnLinux civil and safe!
