I wrote an email service called Port87, and I did it on a really low end laptop (an Ideapad 3 from 2021) to make sure that it works well, even on a potato.

If an Ideapad 3 is a potato now what's an EeePC?
This is like the definition of a "conservative". Progress shouldn't happen because their not ready for it. They are comfortable with what they use and are upset that other people are moving ahead with new things. New things shouldn't be allowed.
Most games have the ability to downscale so that people like this can still play. We don't stop all progress just because some people aren't comfortable with it. You learn to adjust or catch up.
It's conservationist, reducing hardware requirements to lengthen the lifetime of old hardware.

If they can downscale enough, they should be able to pass this test.
