"Impending" doom?
Devices from 10 years ago are _already_ useless online.
Not only are the root certificates completely expired, but let's see which protocols does an openssl 0.9.8 build from a decade ago have in common with, say, current Gmail's IMAPS server: NONE.
- imhoguy 6y agoMy TP-LINK Wifi-N router bought in 2010 still works nicely on latest OpenWRT and I assure you it runs software more up to date than 99% of closed firmware devices currently on the market. Open-source firmware is a way to go to stay current and to avoid producing more electronic waste.
