To cause an enemy the most misery longterm, would you give them a device from Microsoft, Google, or Apple? (sh.itjust.works)

Longterm? Apple, since they go EoL so quickly. Enjoy not being able to run any new applications in just a couple years.

That hasn't been the case for the longest time. It wasn't until the last few years that manufactures finally started supporting their devices as long as Apple. And even then that's only for flagship devices, the el cheapo stuff may not even get a single software update.

Microsoft devices from 2017 can run Windows 11, which will be supported for roughly 10 years.

Macs from 2017 are going EoL this year.

Uh, no. That’s not the case in reality. Whether you love, hate or just simply use Apple products they have undeniable longevity.

MacOS Ventura came out in late 2022 and is already going EoL this year. No security updates or software patches. Apple typically only gives 3 years of support for their OS's. MacBooks from 2017 are suddenly eWaste. My SurfaceBook 2 from 2017, in comparison, runs Windows 11.
