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

Of course it's fucking planned

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

@Eccles support MS-DOS

else you're a filthy corporatist

Then shut the fuck up and install steam

and yes i know my xp laptop is obsolete, that one is a special case as it runs eprom programmer software that doesnt work on anything newer

Literally arguing nothing here

Me being a boomer doesn't mean you're right when you're clearly not

support Atari console

support Playstation 1 for PC games made today
