Old schools New - How a Swedish sub beat the US Navy
Amazing that an internal combustion engine from the early 1800's defeats modern engines using nuclear power.
(Rant: I work in technology and it drives me crazy how development tooling - especially anything Microsoft - is constantly changing. Several of my team - including my boss - have bought into what I call "blinking blue light psychosis": basically the premise that anything newer is better. Drives me nuts.)

I agree completely with you regarding new tech.
I just upgraded My pc from 12 year old hardware to 6 year old hardware.
Net gain is 15C cooler cpu operation under heavy load and about 100%
performance improvement on a few heavy load tasks. Virtually no noticeable
improvement on daily use though it may use less power.
It was arguably worth the $300 for the mostly used upgrade parts.
Buying new would have taken more than $1,000 more with no real additional performance.
The old parts are my backup system.
This weekend I hope to install a Linux OS to mostly replace Windows
(and to run a virtual machine for what it doesn't replace.)
I have not upgraded from Windows 7 and see no reason to do so.
If I ran an IT Department, I'd probably have tried to switch them all to Linux already
(and probably accepted failure to convince management of the wisdom of that change.)
