Yes I am using as my daily driver an old box with an i7-3770. Truthfully want to upgrade, however it just hasn't missed a beat and does everything I need. Wouldn't mind some USB c ports though.....

I believe lots of small businesses are not that concern with security so just run with old boxes for a long long time

Optus: Telecom boss Kelly Bayer Rosmarin quits after Australian outage in c/technology@lemmy.world

There seems to be a lot of anger at Optus over this I feel it's an extremely complex network in the fact our three telcos have very few outages is somewhat surprising.

Potentially she could have put her media team to better use regarding the lack of information on the day, however I feel it's a shame for her to step down over this.
