A MacBook lasting longer is irrelevant when a PC can be upgraded for half the cost over the same period.
I'm using the same PC I had in 1998. Sort of.
I've been upgrading things as needed. Around 2000 I put it in a 4 unit rack mount server case - which will pretty much hold anything I need. The motherboard and CPU have been upgraded 5-6 times. New power supply here and there. Old drives are moved to storage drives and I install faster newer drives for OS from time to time.
I have no idea how much I've saved just upgrading things as needed or if something fails.
I don't think the old rules will apply much longer. Trump is playing a game the normal US government have never had to deal with. By the time everyone gets up to speed, Trump will have purged anyone that could have done something.
I think the USA is lost at this point. Damaged beyond repair unless the anti-coup happens soon.
I got banned a few weeks back for an anti-trump post.
That account was 11 years old and I was very active over those years. But nope. Don't talk smack about the orange god.
100% agree
