This annoys me every time it comes up because if you read the fine print, they’re not literally saying that the computer will last forever as-is, they’re selling a subscription service. I mean you can literally read what it says in the pic: for $99 you can upgrade to a new PC ever two years, effectively meaning that your PC will never be obsolete, so long as you keep paying the fee.

Sure, but unless the company is still in business (I assume it is not), the joke still stands.

Those cases were beast, it’s theoretically true, but it isn’t likely possible due to the company itself likely becoming obsolete and if not, it’s certainly not $99 anymore.
