Typewriters are not connected to the outer world. If you would use your Macbook as a typewriter, typing documents and copying them PDFs over USB flash stick, it wouldn't be obsolete in 5 years. Although it wouldn't survive 100 years for sure, but I'd expect an average computer to survive 15-25 years.

Computers, especially computers connected to the Internet, are too specific entities, so analogies often are faulty. Gadgets become obsolete not because Apple is evil, but because world is changing too fast. New websites are too heavy for old CPUs. Software evolves too fast, so it costs quite a bit to keep old hardware drivers up-to-date. Malware risks are real, so the option of not updating is unsafe.

Weird comparison.

Yes some typewriters from a century ago are still working, because their owners have put in the time and money to keep them working. They arent magic machines. They need parts to be replaced, cleaning, lubrication, obscure ribbons, gears, keys.

Similarly there are plenty of computers from the 50s and 60s still working, for the same reason.

True, but the article was first with that comic it ends with.

My Macbook Pro had to have the motherboard replaced 8 times in 3 years after purchase. I had to sue Apple in a class action along with a lot of other people, and we won. And they replaced it with an Intel mac that was forced to be obsolete, now the thing can't be updated and some software has stopped working because it can't be updated.
