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
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
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and yes i know my xp laptop is obsolete, that one is a special case as it runs eprom programmer software that doesnt work on anything newer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
else you're a greedy pig
For someone bitching about strawmen earlier, you're certainly trotting plenty out, COolitic
What am I not right about? If you’re arguing from the position that abandoning XP is planned obsolescence, then you’re retarded. If you’re arguing that steam licenses games, then you’re just wrong.
There’s not a single thing you’re right about here.
Abandoning XP wasn't the issue
