@sawaba @JustinMac84 @pluralistic @iFixit I was able to upgrade an old enterprise server into a personal NAS with 128GB of RAM and 2 of literally the best CPUs available for the socket and I think the whole upgrade cost me $80 (both CPUs were only $20 combined). Granted, that was a few years ago and like I said the hardware is dated, but it's also still insanely overkill for what I use it for.

@bryce @JustinMac84 @pluralistic @iFixit True - computers don’t fall off a cliff like they used to. An M1 Macbook is still plenty fast for 99% of people today. I just revived a 2017 Lenovo X1 Carbon a few weeks ago with Linux. Runs like a dream and I got everything working on it - even the 4g modem!
