@Linux@linuxrocks.online Oh for many more years. Even on my Lenovo X230 I can do almost all of my work without any issues.
And yes, nearly all of the parts can still be bought new. There's lots of factories in China selling them.
If this really becomes unworkable in the future, I hope by then there will be RISC-V implementations that are similarly open / low on blobs.
Of course there already are ARM SoCs now that come close, like the Rockchip SoCs PINE64 uses. But they're not faster than Intel Ivy Bridge.

@kevin@social.interlunium.nl Ok, so China is not a problem for your company for these parts. Can you give examples for kinds of work you do in your company with this equipment in your company? You would *possibly* make an additional buck as an attraction too, for those wanting to see 100% open software / hardware company in action in your daily routine? This is *very* rare if all you state is 100% accurate in this free as in total freedom usage in every aspect.
