    Electronic products and software should get a “at least supported until” label on the packaging and legally obligated to keep the servers running until that time.

      Only if there’s an absolute bare minimum they’re allowed to choose of 5-10 years after the last device/software is sold.

      And even then, I still think they should be required to unlock devices (and software DRM bullshit/APIs to re-implement server components) to allow people who want to maintain them themselves.
