That didn't work with my laptop, I still wanted to smash it against the wall when I came back. I don't know how long it thinks I can sit there and stare at the little blue circle spinning. I know the sensible thing to do is just buy a new one.

The lifecycle for computers now is 4-5 years. After that they're no longer supported. You can get around that somewhat if you're computer savvy but it's extremely frustrating. It's almost impossible for independant techs to repair Apple products because Apple is designing them to be repair-proof. Which is ironic because we're supposed to be trying to save the planet, yet we're continuing with the throwaway culture. Once they force people to lease hardware and software it will undoubtedly change, and that will be soon.
