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.

Another thing Japan can do is as long as there is a minimum user base(to be determined, maybe 25-50%?) still using a device then security updates at a minimum has to be available. It should be up to the buyer's if they want to buy a new phone, not the manufacturers. This would save a lot of resources and toxins entering the environment. To I expect this kind of thing? No. My kind of work before retirement was resource extraction, so I seen the damage it does first hand. I realize that these resources are necessary in a modern society, but dam throwing away good stuff so a company can pad there shareholders portfolios is really a bad thing to do.
