No more new features for intel macs after 5 years. They will be dropped completely from security patches in 2028.

2028 is going to be another major opportunity to convert Mac users to Linux.

Only if right to repair progresses. I'm looking right now at my laptop with 2 out of 3 ports broken, a battery which states 30% of health remaining and so on.

I want to buy a framework laptop but they're kinda pricy.

Right to repair an all sure, but like, who's stopping you from fixing those USB ports and battery now? Pretty sure you'd have RMA'd them if it qualified, so why not just fix it yourself? USB ports are easy to resolder with a Hot air rework station, trickier with a soldering iron but totally possible. Batteries are usually available on ifixit.

Only on a site like this you would read something like "yeah, just get an hot air station and fix the smd, ezpz." lol

Here you find the adventurous. What greater adventure than accepting "I can't make it worse" and just trying to fix something you're wildly underqualified to fix?

Yeah sure, I'm known to have repaired several devices to the recycling bin, but we're a fraction of a fraction of a minority
