Well, I just upgraded from Intel late last year. There are lots of users still on Intel :)

There was a magical window at Google where you could be issued an iMac Pro 5k. (To this day, the standard issue monitor is still 1440p.)

~9 years later, there are a lot of people still using it as their main machine, waiting until we get kicked off the corp network for lack of software support.

Was that one of the ones that could do "target display mode" and become a monitor for another machine?

Nope - they removed that feature, so now come the end of the year, they're all e-waste.

It feels really stupid to have to throw away a perfectly capable machine with 64GB of RAM in 2026.

Wait, they throw them away, not sell or give to employees? I feel like as long as the computer is reset, indeed it is stupid to just throw it away instead of giving or selling it to someone who wants it.
