    The funniest part is that the laptop has been in sleep or hibernate all that time, not off.

    Only ten years old? Hell my desktop is around that age, doing just fine. I do need to get some more memory though, 16GB isn’t quite cutting it for the number of programs I’m running simultaneously these days (and having 2500 open tabs in firefox doesn’t help). That’s the beauty of linux though, it never forces you to upgrade or chokes out your system with unwanted ads and background processes.

    My almost 10 year old laptop is running proxmox. The display is busted, keyboard and touchpad doesn’t work the battery only lasts for 10mins but it is still running 3VMs and 2 LXC containers. And after seeing this I feel like I’ll be the first one on chopping block once robot uprising starts.

    As the shaky old laptop plays it quietly passes a note along, “Can I please update?” You deny the request. The old laptop fan spins a little slower, like it was disappointed.
