A decade ago was 2013, the pentium 4 is at least 13 years old now, but entered production 23 years ago.
There's still a lot of utility to be had from a 10 year old machine. My daily driver laptop os a lenovo t420 which came out in 2011. Sure it can't play games but it'll do fine with youtube, programming, etc.
My server box is also a 2012 era machine, it's a 3770k build. It's perfectly fine for what I use it for.
Yeah it takes a bit more power than a modern intel chip, but it sure beats the alternative of throwing it in a landfill to save a few watts at idle.
