then when they do put out a new thing ppl are all "ugh! planned obsolescence! stop the upgrade treadmill"

No one is ever happy.

A company says "here's the good poo poo for $1400, you don't need to upgrade for four years" to me and I'm overjoyed at my nice Macbook Air

Someone somehow manages to be mad at that

I admire shaggar's consistency in always spelling it jonny ives. it's not "tomb cock" amateur-level name calling, just always and intentionally spelling it wrong. it's a dedication to quality that puts him above the crowd.

"Jony" is a typo.

My macbook pro mid 2010 is about to kick the bucket from a worn out nvidia gpu and I want to spend an unreasonable amount of money on the latest and greatest laptop to last me another 6 years

But who am I kidding, the new macbooks are all built like they were a big stupid iPad and will only be good for a couple years at most with non-upgradable non-replacable everything.
Tim trying to make Steve proud, you're not supposed to open the box! You buy a new one!

I'm using my mid-2012 Macbook Air and my wife is using her mid-2012 15" macbook pro (non-retina) just fine.

It may be that they haven't been updated because an update hasn't been necessary yet.

Intel peaked with Sandy Bridge / Ivy Bridge, there's been no need to upgrade cpus since 2012.

My T440 is still great but i wish it had more RAM. I have one million dollars but i haven't bought more RAM for it.

If the next ThinkPad T4x0 had usb c charging and a hidpi screen it would be perfect

I doubt it but it will just piss off subscribers. Spotify is also crying because record labels want them to pay the same amount apple does.

you have to have a significant majority of the market for this to be the case. penalizing partners for prioritizing a competitor is perfectly legal
