Honest question: how many other pieces of electronics do you have that are still getting support after 8 years of use? I could understand appliances and cars, where the maintenance is mechanical wear & tear and not software, but anything with software generally has a 3-5 year EOL at this point.
- Brometheus 8y agoWell. You can still install Windows 10 on it, can you? We did this with all the Macs at my old office. Shame.
- ryandrake 8y agoI could go out and buy Windows or download Linux, and run them on this and even older computers, which is unfortunately probably what I’ll end up doing at some point. I like Apple, and am pretty bought in to their ecosystem. Their blacklisting of older hardware is one of my few complaints with them, really.
- cwyers 8y agoMost 8 year old PCs can run Windows 10.
- tinus_hn 8y agoAlso, free software updates that you don’t pay for with your privacy.
- robterrell 8y agoHmmm... I've got a Sonos amp that is ~ 11 years old. Just installed a software upgrade last weekend. But yeah... not much else from back then is still in daily use in my life.
