@lemmy.worldI feel it's worth mentioning the application of them also factors into their longevity.
Good quality SD card holding some documents and random files? Yeah probably 10+ years. Good quality SD card being used in a dashcam, constant writes? I'm replacing my good SD card after about ~2 years of service because its showing signs of failure.

Not sure why you're being down voted. I bought a 2012 Mac mini a few years ago and it ultimately became the media centre PC, but it was never perfect for the same reasons you said.
And this week the damn thing just died, absolutely no power. I presume the PSU died but yet to confirm. Now I'm planning to replace it with a Leader SN6 NUC I have around running some Linux distro with KDE and using the KDE Connect app to control it instead
2 bucks each, that's like half a gallon of gas
Try two Aussie dollars not even getting you a litre (0.2 gallons). I ain't giving out solid easter bunnies with those prices!
Let's improve your experience
Sit back, relax, we're taking the wheel here to once again shove our subscription products down your esophagus. Would you be so inclined as to now use New Outlook, OneDrive, Microsoft Office, Telemetry (just kidding, we make it mandatory and give you the illusion of choice), Edge and our sponsors Candy Crush? We thought you would, so we've set these as your default apps. For instance, we have decided for you that Edge was what you actually needed instead of LibreWolf, which cane from an unknown source.
Thanks again, we will come again in next month's update!
Kind of, its based on the latest LTS of Ubuntu if memory serves me right
I try to avoid Ubuntu for a lot of the common reasons seen here, so a Debian based Mint suits me well
I taste the rainbow myself. Here are my PCs and their OS's:
My study is extremely Windows focused (expects use of Microsoft Project, everything submitted in .docx, etc.) and while it isn't impossible to do it without Windows, I also don't want to impede academic progress with macOS or Linux.
However, I have my Latitude which I've been using the most recently for all other study not requiring Windows, and my iMac I got from ewaste for doing anything needing macOS like jail breaking and syncing music to my iPhone 4s
I've got an older Latitude that I've nearly maxxed out on a shoestring budget, it runs LMDE 6 and is my dedicated Linux machine. I use it for online study, Zoom sessions, content consumption, and some Python here and there, LMDE is rock solid and hasn't given me any fuss at all.
Unless LM22 has undergone some significant changes, I would say LMDE 6 doesn't feel "modern" but it feels polished
Haven't seen anyone else comment this, I mash all arrow keys
Originally I got into this habit thinking that arrow keys would do nothing, and in most interfaces they don't, but I have learned the hard way they certainly do stuff when watching YouTube.
However it's too late and too embedded in my brain to wake my PC by mashing arrow keys so that is my life
