Observation: more and more companies are adding a year of use (from typically 36 months to now 48 months) to their corporate servers/laptops to keep the exploding hardware costs for renewal under control. Most machines come with max 36 months of (onsite) warranty, so they accept the risk of being 12 months out of warranty.
I for one am happy that I finished my hardware update cycle well before the prices started to rise and will not need new RAM, NVME, spinning hard drives or a new laptop for at least the next 4 years.
Ryan Peters@jwildeboer here I am happily trying out linux distros on my old-ass PCs that can't fathom running Windows 11 on them
