Exactly. Enough for most stuff and we don’t create more e-waste. Only thing I’ve thought about is that maybe newer power supplies (psu) are consuming less electricity. That’s why for long seeding/uploading I prefer running the laptop. (And raspberry pi 1 and 2 also consume so little electricity).
I have to say the same thing when it comes to smartphones. I literally caught a smartphone from 2014 on eBay for 10€. You can flash the opensource custom ROM LineageOS on it and then have an up to date Android phone. Yes camera will be shitty and slow CPU, but if all you do is sending WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal messages…should be enough (my example is maybe bad. You could spend 100 bucks and get a decent phone from 5 years ago)
Thing is almost all devices I’ve bought „used“ from official eBay sellers, were in perfect condition, no scratch at all. The Laptop literally looked like it was never used before. With phone the only issue can be a battery if it wasn’t charged in a long time or used a ton.
