I agree, it was just an example on how « adding something new » may cause existing hardware obsolete, if you look at it from an ecosystem pov.

- thebruce87m 7y agoThey get accused of planned obsolescence either way. Implement the feature on old hardware, but it’s slow or crippled? Planned obsolescence. Don’t implement the feature... planned obsolescence.
- bsaul 7y agoWell, the solution is easy : implement it everywhere the best you can, and make it optional so that you can disable it on slow hardware. It's basically the way software updates has worked for ever. Only since apple ( because it controls both the hardware and software) do we see features not deployed on old hardware because it may eventually not give you the best experience.
