LEGO comes to mind. Not cheap, but definitely knows how to keep a healthy and active relationship with their customers.

Neither is their CEO.

Like Yosemite Sam.

I’m only partly kidding. I do play from time to time, but not as much as I thought I would, hence the “regret”. Nostalgia is a powerful drug.

Anecdotally, I am writing this comment from a 7-year-old Chromebook. Owing to software updates, it’s not as snappy as it used to be (therein lies the irony), but it’s still usable up to its Linux container. The battery is dead but I don’t want to get rid of it because the screen is still nice and bright and the hardware build is otherwise fine.

I just wish, though, I could boot proper Linux off of it and I could upgrade memory and storage.
