I have a 14 year old gigabyte motherboard in my older computer. When I first got it I didn't know what I was doing and plugged the wrong thing in somewhere and blew up a component on it. As long as I don't use that slot it chugs along just fine. I wish companies would just keep making things that last I'd gladly pay a fairly steep premium for that. Instead it seems every company that gets known for making good stuff decides to shit all over themselves

Honestly, in your case, it could just be more about who makes what components can withstand X amount of punishment and keep the electrons flowing through so other things keep working ๐Ÿ˜‚

Agreed on your point though. Cheap shit needs to stop.
