Like it or not there are legacy industry specific hardware adapters out there for ISA. That's why it was quite late to be removed from motherboards.

yup, most "investors" these days are tech traders, line go up = good, line go down = bad, buy/sell based on stock price movements.

Exactly this. Unless you have some bespoke high end media production or engineering apps, the platform is mostly irrelevant now. it's almost all web.

Some of the more tech knowledgeable are relying on smartphones and tablets too, if they fit their needs. The days of needing a desktop or laptop for general purpose tasks are pretty much over. Unless you're an IT guy, gamer or need some high end engineering or media production apps - you could probably get by with a tablet with far less PC janitor work.

Yup, can confirm core audio was still running and draining battery at 15% CPU usage. Thought it was a macOS bug on my new MacBook Pro 14", but it looks like it was a Zoom issue.

Lol. Ditching zoom for google over privacy is a bit.... ok...
Zoom had a lot of problems early on due to unexpectedly gaining way more customers than they anticipated. they spent a lot and have fixed most of their problems.
IN terms of corporate telco software, they're easy to deal with and their customer support is excellent.

As opposed to removing the DRM that cripples the chip from the factory. No thanks.
