so, macs now have a hard expiry date of ~7 years, even though their hardware allows them for way more

heh, hello from my imac 2017 running macos 15

besides windows not working on there (which, to my knowledge, is microsoft's own fault for signing contracts with snapdragon), i don't see how that's any more anti-consumer than their x86 computers

like. they always had soldered on RAM, soldered on storage, etc., none of that changed with the architecture changed. since 2016 at least, macbooks have been shitty deals if you care about having a laptop that won't die if you blink at it too hard lol

only difference is now it runs on a different architecture for better battery life]]>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://social.translunar.academy/objects/a5658580-24fe-41a9-b52f-e2c66929b5b7https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://social.translunar.academy/objects/a5658580-24fe-41a9-b52f-e2c66929b5b7Wed, 29 Apr 2026 14:00:12 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to i remember when in 2020 apple announced ditching x86 and i was calling that insane and incredibly anti-consumer on Wed, 29 Apr 2026 13:58:46 GMT]]>@xyla tbh the only bad part about it imho is that this year they're killing x86 entirely

no macOS builds for older systems, no backwards compatibility (except, conveniently, for games which opt-in), no nothing
