How about getting the people who pay you to buy you over-priced hardware?

    I'd personally prefer more hardware for the money, including when its being bought by others. But I also have to replicate client environments (though at a much smaller scale), so its kind of a cheat code for "buy me that" or "I'll be keeping this for 6-9 months and you can buy me a replacement when this one gets delivered to you".

    I think I need another GPU heavy project.

    I have the same preference, but companies keep giving me macbooks to use for work no matter how many times I ask for a cheaper (or better specced at the same price) Linux laptop.

    Many companies will just buy in bulk and give the same thing to everyone. I'd rather use Linux but I understand they don't want to deal with different environments. Also yeah, Apple has made it very difficult to emulate MacOS so it's easier to buy that and emulate everything else.
