this is very offtopic, but it is important to remember that is you time traveled back to, say, 1918, with an iphone se with a cracked screen it would be the most valuable object in the world by a vast margin. despite in fact being a duplicate of material that exists scattered in that time already. that differential is part of what motivates the stock market of today being fantastically valuable in 1918 terms

the hardest part would be finding somebody who was qualified enough to reverse engineer it that would be willing to meet or listen to you because if you think it’s all about who you know now boy would you be shocked by the early 20th century

you could absolutely recharge it, electricity wasn't very well standardized in 1918 but the units certainly were and the voltage/frequency/amperage requirements are literally written on the plug

The 2013 Mac Pro It cost me about $8,000. I've had to get the GPU's replaced repeatedly. I'm currently on GPU 4 and 5. It constantly has issues, mostly caused by overheating, in spite of the fact that I keep it in a well ventillated, cool, air conditioned spot. Guess what? You can't cram a tower worth of computer parts into a tiny little cylinder and "cool" it with one single fan! The laws of thermodynamics still apply to you no matter how "bold" and "innovative" you are. I've never been an Apple "fanboy" but this has actually caused me so much frustration that I've built a PC and switched to Windows full time. I have no loyalty to a company that blatantly disrespects their customers.

You can right now get a 48 core 96 thread dual cpu server with 64 gigs of ram from dell for that kinda money. this to me is on the level of paying thousands of dollars for star citizen spaceships or MONSTER golden cables.
