To me it isn’t acceptable that phones and tablets have that problem too, especially devices that could still have a decent performance.

Windows has a lot of problems, but at least if you have Windows you will be supported for a long while, even if it gets slow due to Windows being Windows. Considering ChromeOS frames itself as a competitor of especially low end Windows, and that ChromeOS is more optimized than Windows, I would expect more.
EDIT: The article says three to six years, and that they stop functioning. That’s even worse.
EDIT2: And like most phones, you can’t flash another OS to most chromebooks.

The PCBs. With pre made magnet mounts, tactile z buttons, an already available T3 Gamecube controller, and excluding all the soldering equipment (i already had most of it) and the optional stuff, it costed me about $257, $239 . However that price is not completely right because I split the bill between me and two friends, so it costed more like $85 each. If you don’t have friends interested and you don’t want to sell it might be better to buy a single one on Etsy.
Elecrow. For 5 boards i paid $130 iirc. And I’ve seen some things in the Discord regarding JLCPCB… For example, for one person they completely covered one of the mounting points.
