It would be a REALLY simple thing to implement for longer and get the PR boost/spin. considering there are still so many devices that are working that don’t support newer software. BRand loyalty is waning and windows is competing with chrome books. That’s the shit k-12 are getting and most basic people. Give yourself at least a bit of an edge ffs!
But nah public hasn’t made a big fuss about that so of course they won’t elect to make better choices for the environment
My laptop was somewhat high end around 11 years ago and is still working solidly. I love the Thinkpad series btw.
The only thing I had to do was upgrade to SSD and larger memory many years ago. I was an early adopter of windows 11 and after forcing the installation, it ran even better than windows 10 on the same hardware. The lock out felt extremely artificial and arbitrary.
This shit contributes to electronic waste.
