obsolescent

Of course, you are still left with the problem of how to "retire" obsolescent models.

Most of the spaces Sears is closing are obsolescent for retail uses for several reasons.

I've bought perhaps 50 drives in the past 20 years, and maybe 10 of them died, the others mostly becoming obsolescent.

And its not the lack of role model as I met the wife when she was in a Z80 assembly programming class, back when that tech was only somewhat obsolescent.

My guess would be too much "noun oriented thinking".Some of us came of age before the tyranny of King Java, learning such obsolescent tools as Pascal, Lisp and C back in school.

They've been officially obsolescent since 1989, but they're still fully supported by any conforming compiler.

Why would you expect a random Android device to play an obsolete/obsolescent proprietary Microsoft format?I like the Fire, personally.

Which reminds me that another trend making Sears commercial buildings obsolescent is the radically improved energy efficiency of modern retail design - big boxes have skylights, etc.

My impression working for a government contractor years ago was that the government had great systems for getting the best price on typewriters, and that these systems more or less guaranteed the purchase of obsolescent computer technology.

Such planned obsolescent designs are certainly not environmentally sound, and claims of the longevity and strength of the frame materials, and even of certifications, are just PR to distract and hypnotize the marketplace into believing the opposite of the reality of the situation.
