Computers became fast enough about 20 years ago for everything short of gaming for the average user.
Before that, lots of effort was put into efficiency, specifically in the OS.
Now days, hardware is so fast, and storage has become so large, the only way to force people to buy new hardware is to create total bloatware and planed obsolescence.
I'm forced to use windows for work, and have been on 11 for a while now. Many basic tasks are indeed much slower.
I finally have my own home PC for the first time in decades, and this is one of the many reasons I plan on switching it to linux.
I want all that horse power going into graphics and gaming, not running a shit OS.
Odd, my Core2Duo really struggles on Video playback, browsing, running large applications etc... and that's less than 20 years old.
The internet will also bring even a modern machine to it's knees. I recently upgraded my computer at home because the poor 8th gen 6 core i5 was crying in pain. Thanks modern web devs.
Fuck web devs
No, I dont need 30 JS scripts from font.net, google, shopify, sentry, and some bullshit to run in order to look at your Website. I dont need your site to be a fucking unparseable slideshow because every text is a JS script so it can glow in rainbow colors. If I scroll, I want to scroll your goddamn website and not look at a video that only play when you scroll down.
I want a static website that 90% consists of text and that I can download with curl and view like it was the real one.
