    My MacBook Pro is 4 years old, but it still works well. The battery is starting to degrade a bit, but overall it's acceptable. Still, I'm not sure I'll consider it reliable enough for much longer.

    I was thinking that with my next laptop I'll do like Amélie: I’ll take a photo of it in every place I bring it, and I'll create a dedicated Fediverse account just for that purpose.

    When I come up with ideas like this, I feel like the Nerd Barista…

      @dvl yes, it can. the cost is around 300 euro. But for now it's still ok, so I think it'll do its job for some more time.

        @stefano Uhh. I should have done that with my previous laptop, an HP probook. I got it in 2012, in my final year of school (german Gymnasium), and used it as my main computer for 10 years, throughout my Bachelor's degree, Master's degree and my first job at university, as well as for organizing multiple events in my free time. Originally it was running Windows 7, later Linux Mint and finally Arch Linux. It's still functional, although the battery is weak and it's quite clunky in today's terms.

          @stefano I won't let it passes!

          You have a real problem for time/capability appreciation when it comes to hardware. 😉
          4 years is ridiculous.

          Now, if you need to write-off some expenses since your recent exchange with your mayor reminded you that your taxes are not well spent, that's another question... 😛
