Sweden reports first mpox clade 1 case outside Africa

 https://www.dw.com/en/sweden-reports-first-mpox-clade-1-case-outside-africa/a-69955272

Will Mpox become a serious enough reason to shut down most of the world like during the COVID-19_lockdowns? Well, that remains to be seen.

If there is another major lockdown, like with the COVID-19_pandemic, it could cause a global economic_contraction, an economic collapse or a depression. The lockdowns were seen as a necessary harsh measure. Contact_tracing can be of great benefit, but it could also potentially breakdown and condition the world to accept a global medical dictatorship.

They Don’t Make Gaming Laptops Like They Used to

 https://gizmodo.com/man-they-dont-make-gaming-laptops-like-they-used-to-2000482764

A person might have some clothes that are 5-10 years old, but kept them in good condition by not wearing them that much. A person might have an extra TV that's closer to a decade old than 5 years old, but it still does what it was meant to do. A 10 year old car can still work well, provided that its been properly maintained. A 5 year old smartphone or a laptop can still work, but it will seem a little old. However, some people might not only like to have a car that's more than half a decade old, but a laptop as well.

https://www.cnet.com/reviews/alienware-area-51m-review Of course the older the tech, the tougher it will be to get new parts.
