Quest 1 becomes near-E-waste Apr 30
everyone eventually stops supporting stuff, but the ipad2 is fron 2011.
What point are you trying to make? The processor, ram and ssd still work. I only need a different OS which I have the experience to install but apple hardware locked the device so it becomes e waste. Its totally okay that they stop supporting stuff but they must be required by law to open the devices after that period. Its why I made a petition about it today on change.org.
hey i’m not against what you’re trying to accomplish, and wouldn’t be surprised if it happens in the EU. i was just pointing out that 5 years isn’t long and 13 years is a long time in terms of consumer electronics.
You‘re correct and the fact that apple makes devices that go that long is astonishing. But it still has nothing to do with the fact that they are bricking devices actively.
Btw, I have a laptop of the same age running perfectly fine on lubuntu. So its obvious which is better.
