I think it’s funny and interesting (and, yes, sad) that Apple should make such robust hardware that it would ever become “obsolete.” My 2015 MacBook is no longer supported by the latest OS, but it still runs smoothly and admirably, doing everything I need and want it to do. I have no intention of replacing it until such time as it out and out breaks. I love it just the way it is. I’m enticed by the M1 and M2, but not yet.

I am convinced that a huge portion of modern hardware is just keeping up with the constant software bloat. Its sort of weird when people will be like "I am looking for a new computer that will do (thing that computers did just fine back in 2007), do you think that a brand new $4000 can handle that?!"

The OS will no longer get updates, but the computer is fine. Just put linux on it or something.

The nature of technology is that any hardware we are capable of making today will likely be obsolete in 10 years, so it’s not possible to make something that will not become obsolete in short order
