      I haven’t had a desire or need to upgrade my phone in like 3 years now. Only reason I upgraded that one was because it wasn’t 5G and I live an area where 5G actually works and is fast.

        Adding ChatGPT to an ebike or adding “AI” to a pet door is basically what’s going on in the Patrick meme.

          I thought we were talking about how Iphones are nearly identical with a new price tag. Technology as a whole is progressing wonderfully, just not Apple.

            anyone shitting on apple’s innovation clearly has not used m1/2 etc. I’m not a fanboy but m1 is an absolute gamechanger for me as a dev. It is night and day. Truly mindblowing levels of performance compared to top spec intels from a few years ago

              The $999 monitor stand sold seperately and the wireless mouse you have to flip upside down to charge have been my champions of their incompetency. I’m sure they’ve done good elsewhere but start to finish I think they’re a company that preys on people’s stupidity.

      I’m still using the same pc I built over 10 years ago. I can’t keep up with triple A max graphics titles but my computer still serves me well with very little in terms of upgrades.

          Thanks for the tip. My orginal motherboard quit a few years back and my options were limited by my cpu socket. My biggest issue right now is memory capacity. I’m capped at 16 gb ddr3 right now, my old board went to 32 but its BIOS corrupted then also corrupted the BIOS backup or something.

              I honestly found windows 7 to run faster than 10 on my current set up. Im still on a 120gb ssd for my OS that cost like $200 when purchased so my boot times are fast enough. Im trying to unplug more and socialize/be more active so putting off the upgrade helps me with that in some ways. Glad you’re happy with your upgrade results.

                  I have an oposite situation where my work has me working actively and I meet new customers everyday so I’m usually burnt by getting home.

                  Smaller communities are really good for meeting more people. Good luck on finding more friendships. I find it hard to meet people in real life during this digital age. I wish it were as easy and common have friendly conversations with a stranger as it is online here.
