The Macbook no longer lags after forcing a reboot and ensuring it actually finished installing the latest OS update. (This shouldn’t be a thing, but it is.)
The desktop is no longer overheating now that I’ve cleared out the dust & replaced the thermal paste. CPU barely broke 50 C even with a zillion mobs attacking me.

I remember an even older MBP (maybe 2005?) that I ended up having to set on a cooling rack from our baking supplies in order to let it have enough airflow to stay running!
