There are few things quite as emblematic of late stage capitalism than the concept of “planned obsolescence”.
you again chose a macbook for an example, some macs released in 2017 got less than 5 years of OS updates and became ewaste very quickly
choose a different company than apple for your “long time support” examples…
It was one example, and if you’ll notice I said “or just any affordable windows machine,” I don’t know why you’re ignoring that.
As for the 2017 releases getting less than 5 years support, I have never heard of this nor am I finding any examples. Here is the Monterey (apple’s current OS version) compatibility list, which consists of computers as far back as 2013. So I’d be curious to see what you’re referencing. Catalina, the previous OS which dates back even further with compatibility, had security updates until about 8mo ago as well.
3 years is unacceptable on Google’s part and Apple hasn’t come anywhere close to that.
Are you cherry picking? Check Sonoma compatibility list, only for iMac 2019 or later
How is it cherrypicking? The OS isn’t even out yet. I’m literally going off the current OS.
Where is this computer that got dropped after less than 5 years?
Are you cherry picking? Check Sonoma compatibility list, only for iMac 2019 or later
You need a source because this directly contradicts you.
That is not under 5 years.
Edit: Additionally, Monterey will get security updates until mid-2024. That’s 7 years for your 2017 models, which is the most recent, and only impacts the 2017 MBAir.
