On an x86 laptop you run linux. Too easy. xfce if it's 4G ram. Can you do that with an M{1..4} ?

You sure can't do it with an iphone. I own one an iphone 15. Was beautiful when new. Even now it has started on the path of suck. Apple have "upgraded" it to have a more frustrating touchscreen because they clearly think I should give them more money to keep the experience I bought. They are not cheap.

Apple are the absolute kings of planned obsolescence.

Zealots going for silent downvotws because there is no case they can make to the contrary. Not what downvotes are for, says HN but we're all used to HN being used like this by now.
