Apple's iPad Pro on a stick, um, we mean M1 iMac scores 2 out of 10 for repairability

Quite. I've had the same desktop-of-Theseus for about 22 years. I think the oldest component in it now is probably the DVD drive, which may be about 13 years old. The PSU and case are around 10 years old, the motherboard, processor and RAM were replaced about 2 years ago (along with gaining a snazzy SSD for the OS), and the newest component is a 2TB SATA backup drive I slid in the front last week. Almost every single part I've ever removed from it has been sold on eBay or repurposed. I very rarely actually throw any of it away.
