From a sheer hardware level 286 was easier to interface to! Poke & Peek, ahh memory's!

I would think a 286 is more complex than a washing-machine microcontroller.

I agree though we, as caretakers of the Earth, ought be more conscientious.

I feel swindled, as machines that are 30 years older were even better to service and better for the environment.

Made me laugh.
We're not, and the marketing on it is a lie.

we are all swindled. Everything was better 30, 50 years ago. People actually cared.
Yeah, marketing, shmarketing... Bleeeech!

It's one thing to complain like you're doing, it's another to be the sort of person to produce something for people (like you and me) that consumers can't really complain about and is good all-around.

I'm not just complaining; I listed expectations, the reasoning behind the expectation, and the current state, and why what I'm expecting is not unrealistic.
..because dat sh*t matters. If you gonna put your name on a product, you make sure it is up to par.

Aw, I'm very versed in complaining, I grew up in a country where we made a national passtime out of it, and at the baker or the butcher all customers agree that the weather is awfull. Again. And it is not of the quality of awfull that we used to have. In the past, our awfull weather was a lot more awfull.
If I don't complain about the code, you can safely assume it is ready for production. Now, if you give me a product that is held together by glue, can't be serviced, and is artificially limited in its lifetime, I'm not "just complaining". Seriously, explain me why software isn't built like that?
Would you accept a format of your disc, if some driver breaks your Windows? Including the price for a new Windows-license?

LOL. Yeah, even with climate-change or global-warming the weather isn't as awful? LMAO. I mean, LMAO.
Yes, we should all produce quality stuff that is good for Mother Earth too.
