Where "isn't totally terrible" is stuff that's 30%-300% faster than your

Was the iMac or Mac mini of 2021 so much faster than mine?

I could use Wine under Linux or an Intel Mac, but the Parallels
solution is great for Apple Silicon, why not, you've paid so much for
a MacBook Pro or pimped out other hardware from them, you can
certainly boot a VM of Winblows.

Or use network attached storage.  If you don't want to buy a NAS, see if
your OS allows for sharing directories and use an old PC as a host.  And
if you think its visually unappealing, put it in another room.

motherboard, I wanted the one I got for a reason.

Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
