Do you want to build a computer or a brand new computer? And no, most PCs are not thrown away because all components inside stopped working. It's usually either because they're too slow for the user or just one component broke and the user was incapable of fixing the problem and opted to get a new faster machine instead.

If I were CEO, I’d cut/sell any part of the business that doesn’t directly support CPU and GPU sales, which is basically what Intel is doing.

That's pretty much what they did. They sold off most of the "other" stuff, like their modem division, shut down their SSD division, sold part of Mobileye shares in the IPO, and reportedly Intel is looking to sell part of Altera, their FPGA division.

So many electronics are thrown out every day, that I'd wager you could find everything you need in just a day. The biggest issue is that they throw things in dumpsters, rather than gently putting them there, which tends to break electronics. But then again there's so much garbage you could probably find ten of every component and see what works

I have an oven that's also a microwave and can also cook with a special pan. It's also smaller than a normal oven, so it's closer to an air fryer and heats up really quickly

The mac I plug into my work center via a single usb-c connection which charges it, connects it to my external monitor, and connects it to all of my USB equipment

I do this with my Dell, which also has many ports ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yelling dakadakadaka while going back and forth would be hilarious

I think it has more to do with being readable on small screens, like mobile phones. It still doesn't make sense to me to completely remove your logo and replace it with a sans serif name of your company like jaguar just did.

EoL of anything should mean open source code. You don't want to open source your code? Then you must keep servicing your products and must keep your servers up

You can do it in a multitude of ways. The French for instance elect their president by voting twice, the first time they vote for their favorite candidate (and the parliament), the second time they vote for either of the two candidates that got the most votes (a run off)

There are other ways, like ranked voting, or you could look up parliamentary republics for an alternative form of government.

Read up on what happens in the rest of the world, at this point, we, as a human species, have tried pretty much everything
