With Windows 10 going out of support in October 2025 on lots of good hardware that arbitrarily can't be upgraded to Windows 11, it'll be time to move to Linux to not let good machines go to waste 🐧

I know it's a total coincidence, but my 10+ year old dryer died a few weeks ago, and the 10+ year old washer died today...

Google is ending support for 1st and 2nd gen Nest thermostats this October. They’ll still function—but without updates or cloud features, they could become security risks. Software shouldn’t decide when your hardware dies.

I am trying to fix my Bose SoundLink Mini 2. Charging indicator is only flashing red. This happened before and I had the device repaired by @Bose. @Bose seems to actively hinder user repair. This looks like #PlannedObsolescence from @Bose to me:

Even with the modified EXE, downgrades are now blocked · Issue #42 · bosefirmware/ced
I'm trying to revive a dead Soundlink Mini II (red flash battery icon) by downgrading to 1.1.3. Using the modified BOSEUPDATER.EXE and setting a breakpoint on the updater page to bypass the version...

Nest got bought by Google. Google now tells me my Nest thermostat will no longer connect to the app after October 25.
But if I give them $149.99 (a bargain, they say!) they’ll sell me a new one.

I remember when someone tried to argue with me about this on here, saying it was survivorship bias, and not my own comparisons of the same brands' material quality and stitching over the past 30+ years.
Anyway, yes shit is actually more poorly made now than it used to be even a short while ago.

Not your imagination: from backpacks to food, consumer goods are getting worse
Is it possible to avoid the continuing decline in quality of consumer products brought on by corporate greed?

Welcome to Post-Obsolescence, I hope we can learn, evolve, and move away from big technology in a world where mass surveillance, artificial intelligence, and e-waste are so normalized.
