- shirro 11y agoNot really. The Mac keeps on going. I lost interest and stopped looking. I bought a nice carbon road bike instead. Much better investment for me. All those components I can adjust, swap and upgrade for the life of the bike. Jobs wanted using a computer to be like riding a bike. Here we are in 2016 and I can still upgrade a bike. No hope with the shit the computer industry is making. At one stage I thought I should put business Dell's way because they made an effort shipping some XPS-13 with Ubuntu but they were limited to 8GB. I had that in 2009. What is the point? The nail in the coffin for an upgrade was when I bought a Chromebook to play with. I realised I could just about live with a machine that only had a terminal and browser. I moved local dev to VPS and I can scale that however I want, whenever I want. No concerns about soldered in RAM there. The Chromebook was a bit flakey so I went back to the Mac, deleted a heap of virtual machines and containers and apps and I pretty much live in Chrome and iTerm2 now and feel less pressure to change than I did two years ago.
