Yeah, it apparently matters at least a little

This.

Maybe it's not the cheap hardware? I don't know?

But when you put the following assertions out there:

>Tahoe/iOS26 are still the most godawful buggy pieces of software Apple ever created

and

>It doesn't matter how much cheap hardware you throw at the unwashed masses

with the market data being what it is.

I guess I'm just saying those statements definitely go under the old Abe Lincoln admonition that at times "Both may be, but one MUST be, wrong."
