every time my ol lady (lenovo laptop i got yeaaars ago) has a LCD glitch or her keyboard drivers fuck up or some other issue happens it makes me think of like, a reversal of those old short stories about beloved androids sitting there with their mortal loved one who's destined to pass before their ageless partner and whatnot
Cuz in this way she's so much more mortal than I am, yknow? I know it's a machine but there's some part of me that feels the need to sooth and shush this old gal as her fans struggle to breathe. I don't want any other device, I'll pay for any replacements she needs, i already paid for an extra charging cord just in case. But some days I just don't wanna run anything heavy on her, make her comfortable in whatever end she's facing.
