Re: Does it work though? @Dan 55
Valid points you and the article make on things going obsolete or being "upgraded". As long as there's companies that need to make a profit we'll have these problems. Yes it's ridiculous, it's expensive, and for us in IT it's tedious as hell many times.
No answers here. Companies like Apple, et al, like the "here's a new shiney" even if there's no real improvement. There are those of us who some consider luddites because we don't run out every couple of years and buy new equipment, new software, etc. By "new" these things really aren't but have more stuff and bloat added.
I guess I'm one of those as still running a Gateway PC with Win 7. It works, it's no longer a prime attack surface for miscreants. For the things I do at home, it's all I need.
I'll await the downvotes from those who advocate for "new", "shiney", and insane corporate profits.
