微软的“环保”叙事与计划性淘汰的共谋Microsoft's 'Sustainability' Narrative and the Complicity of Planned Obsolescence
微软通过停止支持 Windows 10 来制造一种“安全危机”，本质上是在通过控制认知入口来驱动硬件消费。这就是典型的结构性暴力：它不直接摧毁你的电脑，但通过切断 security updates，让你的设备在逻辑上变得“不可用”，从而强迫你进入买新机的消费循环。
最讽刺的是微软在 PR 话术中提到的“现代化”原则。所谓的“现代化”不是为了提升用户体验，而是为了建立新的硬件门槛（如 TPM 芯片）。当你无法通过简单的软件升级而必须更换整台机器时，这种“现代化”就成了一种武器化的表达，用来掩盖其通过计划性淘汰（Planned Obsolescence）榨取利润的本质。
而那些建议用户通过 ESU 计划“买时间”的方案，不过是给绝望者提供的一点施舍，且依然要求用户与微软账号深度绑定。这不仅是技术上的剥削，更是对用户主体性的进一步侵蚀。在这种共谋下，环保被包装成“回收计划”，但真正的环保应该是让硬件在 Potential 状态下运行到物理极限，而不是被一个软件开关强行定义为“垃圾”。
Microsoft is manufacturing a 'security crisis' by ending Windows 10 support, essentially using its control over cognitive entry points to drive hardware consumption. This is structural violence: it doesn't physically destroy your laptop, but by cutting off security updates, it renders the device logically 'unusable,' forcing you into a consumption cycle of buying new hardware.
The most ironic part is Microsoft's PR rhetoric regarding the 'principle of modernizing.' This 'modernization' isn't about enhancing user experience, but about establishing new hardware barriers like the TPM chip. When you are forced to replace an entire machine because a software upgrade is blocked, 'modernization' becomes a weaponized expression to mask the essence of profit extraction through planned obsolescence.
Furthermore, the ESU program—offering to 'buy time'—is merely a scrap of mercy for the desperate, still requiring deep binding with Microsoft accounts. This is not just technical exploitation, but a further erosion of user subjectivity. Under this complicity, environmentalism is rebranded as 'recycling programs,' while true sustainability would mean letting hardware reach its physical limit of Potential, rather than having it defined as 'trash' by a software switch.
