    But no, they want you to truly suffer.

    It’s called Planned Obsolescence, sweatie. Now go out and buy a new device.

      Buddy. I’m not talking about consumer equipment. I’m talking about enterprise equipment that costs more than your car. Step off.

      And yes, I know planned obsolescence is a thing in enterprise. But that doesn’t mean your enterprise customer won’t make purchasing decisions based on the quality of such small components. We refuse to order from HPE, to give you an idea of how we take this sort of thing. We know what we’re buying and how to use it and if we can’t properly maintain it because the vendor is an asshat, we’ll find a new vendor because fuck you we can’t afford to put up with your shenanigans.
