lol. Look at the current state and trend of tech and tell me with a straight face that it’s you who will be getting the innovation. What amazing feature was introduced in the last 10 years you couldn’t live without? How much garbage was introduced just because companies could get away with it because the average consumers PC is powerful enough to not notice the spyware/adware/bloatware running in the background?
Yes, buy the new thing. Consume. Trash. Buy new.
I don’t even value repairability to save a buck long term. I value it because I know I can get my system up and running again ways before I finish setup on a new device.
There have been a ton of innovative hardware and software features. Such as ADs in the start menu, firmware locked parts to the system, always on facial recognition cameras, soldered on ssd storage, windows recall, AI processors, planned obsolescence.
If I could expand my storage then there would be less point in my OS begging me to subscribe to my own computer. That’s why soldering the SSD is good, it will help me enjoy my subscription to my hardware.

So much innovation in such little time.

At least the framwork has windows support - I couldn’t bear the thought of forcing linux onto people and have them missing out.
