What are you suggesting should have been done here?

To be fair, there are important differences between open source and closed source software.

I’m curious how it’s considered a “layoff” if it’s based on performance rather than the job itself being eliminated.

Case/chasis: 15 years and counting

Motherboard/CPU: ~5 years (currently: 6.5 years)

RAM: ~2 years until maxed out (currently: maxed out)

GPU: ~3-6 years (currently: 3 years)

I had hoped to do a new build last year, but it’s just too expensive. For now I’m planning to use what I have until it breaks.

The correct technical term is magic smoke.

What kind of quest did it give you?

Not the wrong way either.

At first I thought this was an announcement from Microsoft.

Obligatory:

Unpopular opinion: The Windows Registry, a centralized, strongly typed key:value database for application settings, is actually superior to hundreds of individual dotfiles, each one written in its own janky customized DSL, with its own idea of where it should live in the file system, etc.
