Depends on the context, but generally yes. It’s not new, it’s called asceticism, frugality, many other names I guess.

Also, asking for more is very rarely a form of altruism: no one asks for more to avoid (others) “decades of rsi-health-dangerously poor manufacturing quality”, it’s generally for one’s own benefit, nothing more.

Well, you know the context: it's bad keyboards that cause health issues. Asceticism etc doesn't fit, such a person wouldn't even buy this new premium laptop model. The altruism angle is also puzzling - is it bad to look after your own health or what?

[illiac786]

Ah, my mistake, you were talking about _your_ decades.

Well then, back to standard answer then: pick another laptop.

I really thought for a moment we were discussing the general crowd and why they should/could/must insist on ergonomic keyboards in general, but we misunderstood each other it seems.

Nah, your mistake it much more basic - you confuse me with everyone or "is very rarely" with "never".

> back to standard answer then This is not an answer to any of the questions. But you're right, standards of conversations are just as bad as those of hardware manufacturers

> I really thought for a moment we were discussing the general crowd

I was, but then you've made up a world where no one cares about anyone else, so tried to wipe that reality off your conceptual map.

I’m just not following you at all, sorry. Just pick another laptop if this one doesn’t fit your needs, instead of bashing it.
