i guess i meant to imply that PCs have been overkill for most users for a
while.. so blocking certain more-than-capable machines is a shame. web browsimg, document editing.. 

many of them can decode 4k video on the CPU if there isn't a hardware option, still play most modern games, etc. yet lesser specced laptops support Windows 11 and hardware acceleration is required to play video at all.

i duno, everyone has been talking about e-waste but this just flies under the radar..that Ryzen 7 1700 is still an awesome cpu right now. just feels wrong.
