Well, an obvious solution would be for manufacturers to design their products so that they actually last a long time. For computing devices, this means guaranteed software/firmware updates for at least 10 years.
In the case of routers, using dd-wrt instead of some proprietary firmware that doesn't even do the job properly would be a good start.
- paulddraper 11y ago"Software updates" and "last a long time are not the same". If anything, the former opposes the latter.
- kijin 11y agoThe only thing that prevents manufacturers from offering software updates for 10+ years for computing devices (they could even make it automatic!) is a lousy business model that depends on planned obsolescence.
