Oh my. I never thought of it that way. Decades of random component upgrades. New ram here. Upgraded (ram compatible, other compatible part) motherboard there. Changed video card. Replaced burnt harddrive/ssd… Its always been the same PC, while being a completely replaced one.
Always bring something over, power supply, case, RAM, hard drive, in a pinch, data, it’s good luck. Think of it as changing the flag. Pretty sure mine is over 30…

A modern upgrade to the ancient metaphor/philosophical quandary.
Still as apt, but probably more broadly relatable, at least to us veteran navigators that sail the digital seas.
… Maybe a good name for a repair shop or right to repair advocacy org, something with Theseus in it somewhere.

just be cautious with power supply, a failure could crater the whole system.
Valid, always over-engineer the power supply, it should be mostly in the middle of its rating. Worth it for general longevity.
