Reading this on my 14 year old MacBook Pro 17' with INTEL processor, feeling totally save. I just ordered me a brand new replacement Battery from OWC. Its the third battery now. Since I do all the heavy lifting on my Mac Pro 5.1 , only 12 years old. I guess I will have to wait another two years to switch to Apple Silicon, giving Apple more time again to fix it and work out those kinks. Well Apple take your time, my devices become even more economical over time. Thanks Apple for an 2010 Ecosystem with a very USER-FRIENDLY replaceable Battery, SSD drive Upgrade path, RAM Memory Upgradability and CD/DVD drive that was replaced with a second HDD. Non of which today's devices have.
It shows, how good those devices have been and with how much junk you currently bullS?&%$ today's consumer in the name of Programmed Product Obsolescence. Environmental my ASS......
