This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Doubtful since those are not required for the life/longevity of the tech.
Which this isn't totally solving. Don't get me wrong this is a good thing. But the real issue with planned obsolescence is OS support.
Very true, limited OS support kills most devices eventually, sadly there is only so much you can mandate as many apps and programs will stop working on old OS as they are updated. What should be criminal is apple patching old OS too purposely slow them down.
