    Planned Obsolescence is Getting Annoying

    Note: This was copy and pasted from a rant I did on Discord (with stuff added to it), so ignore any weird formatting. I hate this fact, but many computer manufacturers design their products to die within a certain time frame. And that time frame is getting shorter. ESPECIALLY APPLE FOR SOME...
