I’ll take it to the electronics store tomorrow, where I bought it in 2018. I already changed the hard disk there in 2022, due to some error, and now it’s crashed again. Principally, I think electronic products should last 10 years, minimum, but I realize they’re not designed that way. But yeah, cheaper (maybe $3-400?) to install a new hard drive, than buy a brand new computer.
Thanks for allowing me some German exercise at the end there, when it was just you, me and Nick.
