@StrangeNoises @bjn Same. We've got one Mac update to do in the next few months— @feorag is still on an Intel iMac, I think their next will be an M4Pro Mac Mini—but then I reckon we'll be stable for several yers.

BUT … Tim Cook is 64. I expect him to retire by 70. And after Tim departs I think it likely that Apple will be no more enshittifiction-proof than Google or Microsoft.
