One of my great pet peeves - years ago, the idea was that the great thing about software and a general purpose computer - all you had to do was change code, and not have to change the hardware.

Now, every software release requires new hardware.

Racket.

Yeah, this is one of the reasons I stopped using Windows years ago. My current hardware is around 7 years old and I’ll have it for at least another 5.

With the software upgrades I do from time to time I see performance increases. It kind of makes me sad for people who stick to Windows or Apple.
