> Macbook Airs that are only 3-5 years old

MacBook Airs from 2020 support Sequoia - so just the very upper limit of your range is relevant.

I know we all love dunking on how expensive Apple computers are, but for $5000 you would be getting a Mac Mini maxed-out with an M4 Pro chip with 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 64GB unified RAM memory, an 8TB SSD and 10 Gigabit Ethernet.

M4 MacBook Pros start at $1599.

> Hmm. 3km underwater, sunken 100+ years ago, and the flare gun is still just resting there

I’m not sure whether you’re suggesting they just made up this detail?

In another HN discussion about this, there was a link including the close-up of the gun, resting as described on the middle of the deck.

Incidentally dinner plates and a boot are also intact on the deck. No-one is adding fictional details to how incredibly well-preserved this wreck is.
