Living forever? Yeah, sure. As they say, the first million years are the hardest. But after the 1000. new hip and knee joints, every 50 years or so new eyeballs, new teeth and so on, life is getting really great. If there is enough titanium left, but this is maybe just a matter of good recycling.

Converting the existence to a digital one, I'm not so sure. "Forever" means one hell of an electricity bill. Backups won't come cheap either even in glacier storage. And the firewalls... who wants to get hacked, or being hybridized with Joe Biden or Donald Trump or Wile E. Coyote? Let's hope no one pulls the plug.
My only concern is that in about 1 billion years Earth as we know it will likely cease to exist. Our Sun will grow and swallow the rest of the solar system a few billion years later. If these Methusalahs are still around, they have to get really creative to continue their existence. But they'll surely find a way.
