Where is the f'ing legislation forcing these companies to provide software updates for a number of years? The e-waste this kind of abandonment creates is unimaginable. I'm so frustrated that my government continues to do jack shit about issues like this that really matter and instead tries to ban encryption every six months.

Plus there is talk about 5 to 7 years of security updates being required to sell in Europe. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/06/germany-eu-require-7-years-iphone-updates/ https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/06/germany-eu-require-7-ye...
- foolfoolz 5y agothe government should not legislate software updates. no one is forcing you to buy a google phone
- Markoff 5y agoagreed, though they could put on phones some stickers like energy stickers depending on how many years the phone will be suitable to warn you to not buy red phone and rather go with green phone receiving updates for longer
