I love the idea of this. Keep perfectly working things from being made obsolete artificially. They should look at the old Nest Protect next.

  There is a constant stream of artificially obsolete devices, its a lot of work to keep up with that. Seems like we need a Reverse Engineers Anonymous co-operative to receive hardware and donations and pay people to do the work.

    For devices that are connected to internet it should be a best practice at least and probably an obligation to open source the firmware / code that drives the object when the company decides it wants to stop providing security updates.

      Copyright law should require source code escrow before the software is protected under the DMCA provisions.
