  I agree with you that it would be foolish to believe that any company would support a cheap device perpetually but I think it should be common practice (or mandatory) to open the software so that people can extend the life of these devices. Generally speaking, as a species we cannot afford to waste electronic devices simply because the software is not up to date.

  Well, you should read the article yourself : “Google says it will continue to push software and security updates to its newer devices without specifying which ones.”.

  So only newer devices (and we don’t know which ones), and if you are a bit familiar with technology, you would very well know that they will just quit updating the software anyways after some time as they stopped making the whole Chromecast line.

  So my remark about the fact that we should have laws forcing manufacturers to make their software open source as soon as they’re no longer updated is more valid than ever!

  And? Do they plan to put all the software open source so that the millions of hardware they sold would not go to waste in some years? We should force them to by law.

  They had Tchap that may be not perfect but is open source (based on matrix/element), hosted in France and already used by 400 000 ppl from the public services… Why pay for a new app? Don’t get it…
