> who thought splitting ownership and consequences of not updating software was a good idea? You can't because companies refuse to let customers own and control their devices. Because we can't control them, we can't patch them up. I have a 15 year-old PC that's still running today. It's fully patched up because its vendor gives me enough control to do so. There should be laws that ban device manufacturers from building or bundling software. Something like Bell Laboratories' breakup, but applied industry-wide.
