I happen to take good care of my hardware, but I have so many great items (at least to me) that just won't run properly because they lack required supported software or contact with some defunct server. The gTar was latest thing I found in my basement that I can't use because the iOS app is no longer available. If it's no longer profitable, it would be so nice if the software source code was available so someone could update it to run on modern current operating systems.
- freedomben 4y agoTotally agree. I actively avoid products that require (closed/proprietary) server-side functionality, and I'd love if it were more feasible to avoid products that weren't open source (or had a guarantee of open sourcing n years in the future or something).
