A class action lawsuit alleges that Amazon unfairly ‘bricked’ older Kindle devices by removing access to digital content and discontinuing software support.
Not all global manufacturers do that yet, and not for all models. It’s not a victory yet, we need to pressure them for it to mecome a norm and to be honored without playing any tricks on us.
Also, we were so conditioned for obsolescence, that the idea of a phone lasting more than 7 years looks like absurd for a lot of people, but in reality, it’s very plausible, just like a laptop can last like 15 years, or even more. We can do even better!
It feels like we’re losing ground. Why does 8GB of RAM feel totally insufficient to browse the same websites I used 12 years ago with 4? I’m so happy I maxed out my motherboard’s RAM (32) when I built a PC in 2021.
Phones just recently got better about this. They’re all 7+ years now, which is enough specifically for phones. Maybe not for other things.

I should look for alternative software that will let me just display a webpage.

The ram shortage will force optimization on sites and software, right? Right?
