9.5 years is ancient in smart home devices.

Note to self. Don't buy smart devices. 9.5 years is like a sneeze to me. I still have a Nintendo NES from the late 1980s still in working order. I mean, I modded the video out, and replaced the pin connector. But it works.

Except for a fairly tiny niche community of users still using them for nostalgia reasons, the NES is absolutely also ancient and obsolete in every way and has been for several decades.

Is it? It still works while so-called newer/better technology goes to the landfill within years.

Yes it is, because the HW is completely unnecessary, you can emulate it perfectly on a potato. It only serves a nostalgic purpose, which is also fine, but in all other aspects it is completely obsolete.

emulate it perfectly

This is a far stronger claim than any of the developers for these emulators claim.
