No, we literally upgrade because it's cheaper than the billions in damages.

How would you incur billions in damages?

Your cpu is probably fit for 10-20 years of service. Every other part of your computer will fall down around it first.

Just curious, are you familiar with a concept in the quality/reliability field known as the "bathtub curve?"

Yes. I guess that you're trying to point at us increasing the early failure rate, right? We're insured against that. We can't insure ourselves against the right part of the curve.
