>They just stop getting updates. And stopping the updates will block them from the internet, at least that’s per the article: >Chromebook will no longer receive the software updates it needs, blocking basic websites and applications from use. >That means that as the software drifts farther and farther out of date, which in turn means that some things will stop working, but it's not a kill switch. So basically just like an android device, after 2 years you’re on your own? Better than a killswitch obviously but it also means that it’s just a software pre-determined obsolescence and had nothing to do with google claims that’s it’s “hardware vendors issue”, because just like android hardware, a lot received non-official support from different developers for years after untill the hardware became a little slow to keep up with the bloated system.
