I don’t know why inanimate objects treated like this makes me feel sad. It reminds me of the Mars rover comic where he’s left asking if he did a good job after the radio goes silent.
I feel really bad about my old MacBook. It was my trusty companion for 10 years, but now it’s kind of forgotten and useless.
I tried to revive it a while ago, but it’s too slow/hot to be useful for anything worthwhile and it’s a real shame. It’s still working fine, otherwise!
