Also, it’s not planned obsolescence. Your OS is deprecated. It is dead. It will die soon as all programs update around it. Either by abandoning support, or the programs simply becoming too advanced for your machine to handle. That is not the fault of the companies for advancing their programs as the technology advanced. That’s on you.

It's planned obsolenscence
And you’re retarded.
I’ve said all I’ve needed to. You clearly don’t understand what you’re talking about.
and Gaben apologized?
reputation seems clean to me
Gespa - if you decide you are going to stop supporting an operating system, then that is planned obsolenscence
That's what the term means
We will stop support x at time y
that's
not
planned
The reasons are entirely reasonable
that's just obsolesence
you idiot
ah i didnt realise theyd reinstated it
jesus
you are so dumb
it was rubbish btw
*facepalm*
XP is a shit OS
No, planned obsolescence is when you decide from the start when to cut it off strategically so you can force your customers to buy things on your own schedule.
that requires you to bend over backwards to support as a developer
Look at Microsoft's website, they state at the outset when they are supporting software until
ITS NOT PLANNED BY THE DEVELOPERS
Planned obsolescence is like what Apple does
BECAUSE IT'S A BITCH TO KEEP SUPPORTED
AND ONLY IDIOTS USE IT ANYWAYS
Yes, Coolitic, the reasons for doing it are understandable
LIKE U
No, Eccles, that isn’t what it means. Planned obsolescence is the deliberate action of abandoning perfectly viable firmware for the purpose of forcing users to upgrade their system. Your OS is decades old. Over a decade.
im having problems now accessing websites from my XP laptop, i cant get a new browser for it
Viability is irrelevent
Your OS is NOT perfectly viable.
They sometimes make a sort of warranty or promise "we'll support it at least X many years so you can feel safe about buying it"
I'm on Windows 10, btw
else you're a filthy corporatist
