The Dark Eye
My stepdad is still daily driving my old 2010 13" MacBook Pro and I have a 2012 Mac mini under my desk for when I need to test something on macOS. Those things are so old, they still had spinning HDDs when they came out. I replaced the HDDs with SSDs, added a bit more RAM and with OpenCore Legacy Patcher they both run macOS Sequoia (released in 2024) just fine and even with acceptable performance. Yes, the latest macOS drops Intel CPU support but that's still 14-16 years of that I got out of those machines and six years since the ARM-based Macs were introduced.
My phone is an iPhone 12 Mini which is almost six years old, still gets OS updates directly from Apple and apart from battery health being at 78% still runs exactly as on day one. I plan to use this thing until it falls apart, mainly because there is not a single phone smaller than 6" on the market.
I wish it was flying. I managed to get on the reservation list (not waitlist) and two weeks later I am still waiting for my turn to even order one. Valve seems completely overwhelmed with the demand. Good for them I guess but come on, I haaaate waiting.
I would even say this is intentional. In Shadowrun, you are not the hero. You are some poor bastard trying to make a bit of cash without getting shot in the head by your Johnson once the job is done. Of course you are very rarely involved in the big changes in the world.
