Because supporting 15 year old cheap consumer products is a waste of energy.
- jacquesm 7y agoIt actually isn't. Causing people to replace stuff that still works is a waste of energy.
- nkrisc 7y agoUpdating hardware probably uses more energy overall than supporting existing hardware with software, if you account for increased manufacturing for shorter product lifecycles.
- asenk 7y agoSince this fabricated "15 year old" hardware claim is repeated for who knows what reason, I'm going to have to spam the debunking of it as well. It's nowhere near to being true. Software is going to be gone for haswell generation,[1] boards originally released just 6 years ago[2]. 1. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28295?product=709031 https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28295?product=7090.... 2. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?productIds=70903,69045,69044,72031 https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?pro...
