8 months agoI always worry about recycling old phones/laptops this way since it’s trusting an aging battery in an always-on device when I won’t be home. Idk if I’m being paranoid, but it feels like a fire risk.

They’re clearly not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, they’re just trying to get the achievement.
It’s been gaining a pretty linear 0.5% market share per year for a while. Which is up a lot from the historic pattern of always being about 1%. Unfortunately I think the bigger trend is people giving up on personal computers and using a phone or tablet.
I think it’ll be interesting to see what happens when the AI bubble pops. A lot of people want to hold off on switching OS until they get a new computer, but the absurd prices of RAM and GPUs are stopping people from doing that.
