A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Brand new apple products will be unusable by 2028 with the recent locking down of the operating systems. Keep using your old hardware.
I’m looking at the Pinetime, Fairphone and Framework when I need to upgrade next time.
what exactly do you mean by “locking down” in this context?
Wouldn't surprise me if the mainstream android phone manufacturers do the same unless you used a custom rom when ever possible.
That’s why we should prioritize manufacturers such as Fairphone with unlocked bootloaders while doing more to support Ubuntu Touch, Postmarket OS, Mobian, /e/ OS and Graphene OS.
