@ShadowJonathan @jt_rebelo DMN! If this is correct then there is still hope for humanity! Much needed and a good step towards how most products should be treated.

Acknowledged that my old pad was EoL because of old software, and started thinking about how this will translate to new electric cars 🤔

I have a feeling my old "stupid" fossil cars will outlive many of the ev's I see on the road today. Sadly.

@DoomBananas trust the EU to calculate how much some measure costs and what savings might happen. And what the object of the measure is. Right now, this is just for consumer electronics, but EV buyers are going to have hard times in the future unless there's an initiative to open their systems after they reach (the manufacturer) EoL. ICE cars already have programmed obsolescence in many places, but their tech can still be "coaxed" into working.

@jt_rebelo @ShadowJonathan indeed, planned obsolesence is not reserved for EV's exclusive.

It's like it's obsolete the moment the manufacturer does not support it anymore.

I can understand that a manufacturer cannot support a product indefinitely, however the software should be open sourced immediately when it's abandoned.
