device makers should be forced to support their devices and if they don't they must have something like 6 month period where if they don't push a security check flag to their devices they initiate code to nag the user telling them this devices is not secure anymore because manufacture is not supporting it anymore, in this case they should also be forced to release way to load 3rd party code etc to allow others to fix their crap.
This is a serious issue because many people use old devices without knowing anything is wrong.
- Flameancer 5y agoShouldn’t that be up to the user to update their device or replace as they see fit? Also the manufacturer has no obligation to open up a device for 3rd party software installs. At the most they should let their users know of the expected life cycle of the devices and warn them even the life cycle it’s end or has ended but in no way nag the user. It would be nice for the manufacturer to allow 3rd party software but they don’t have too and shouldn’t be forced to do so. You as a consumer have the choice to choose a manufacturer that allows you to install 3rd party software.
