The old stuff is far more open and documented, which is very important from a freedom perspective. Repairability is really low for anything even slightly recent.

I'm not sure which Celeron J you're referring to, but I know some models were affected by the infamous LPC clock bug --- which might explain why there seems to be a surplus of machines with those CPUs available for amazingly low prices.

I like computers the same way I like my cars, loud and hot ;-)

It's 100% a fact that 1 million of us can't make the difference that 5-10 plants will make if they modernize their processes and are less toxic to the environment. Facts are facts.

But I also don't like paying a lot for electricity. :)

Virtue signalling is dumb and I hate it. In this case I happen to also have a personal interest.
