the greatest piece of technology to ever exist

My CPU is 15 years old.
It's an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T.
I have it running at 4GHz.
I think it's going to last forever, same as my old Intel q6600 that is running at 3.5GHz.
Why don't they make CPU's like these anymore?

What are you working on, /g/?

Previous thread: >>105724992

why is /twg/ so trash?

Since euros hate americans so much, why haven't they created their own Microsoft, Apple or Linux? Or anything technology-related.
Why do they still have to use Wangblows OS and not make their own? Aren't they supposed to be the craddle of creation?

This is so depressing. People do this shit for muh vidja gaems but won't do anything like this for privacy or the tech overlords ruling the world.
