Most people get a new phone every 2-3 years. If people use their 2 most recent phones as simple servers, then these are not 10 year old devices.
Might work right now, in 10 years those Android versions will not support anything, they wont even have root certificate updates SSL will be broken and whatnot. Maybe the phones won’t even boot because some key will expire somewhere…

Damn, what a fucking waste or resources.

in 10 years? Is that a big deal? I’ve never had a single computer for 10 years.

I wish I could predict the future too.

Just look at the past, software and hardware as way simpler and way less locked down and it doesn’t work out. Just try to use a Windows XP to access the Internet and/or install modern software.

All you have to do is look at the present… Android phones don’t have super long software support. Best you’re looking at is maybe 5 years. So, the user saying 10 years is well past that mark.

Looking at the present, I'm not aware of android devices not booting 10 years after they were released. In fact, my 2013 MotoX is still a perfectly usable phone for many purposes. I had to use it for a few weeks a couple years ago because my phone broke.
