Well in short, if it works don't change it. But, it's the story of industrial, and difficult to replace (technically) components.

- tinus_hn 4y agoIt’s also the story of why I don’t care anymore if some ‘engineer’ comes crying his XT that he needs 10 minutes ago doesn’t boot anymore when ‘it was working perfectly fine yesterday’. Yes it costs money to stay up-to-date and if you don’t want to pay and it breaks, you get to keep the pieces.
- sbaiddn 4y agoHow about the OEM who abandoned their million dollar equipment so you cant replace the XT even if you wanted?
- tinus_hn 4y agoShould have specified that in the contract when you bought the device.
- IYasha 4y agoYou've just described life of a typical apple user :)
- grapescheesee 4y agoAnd the cycle of companies who only do R&D for project based work. This is the real issue. I would say it's a problem with middle and high level management, but I am still not sure if that is fair.
- oneplane 4y agoThat's a little short-sighted isn't it? If you define "works" as "worked the last time we tried it", that's not really something you'd want to have to depend on for anything reasonably important. I'd say if if you cannot replicate the system it's already time for some investment. But even before that people should have the foresight to keep systems up-to-date or at least bridged to contemporary systems.
