I doubt that it’s in the terms and conditions but planned obsolescence is definitely a thing.
Not that it matters because no one reads this shit anyway. -
Hazarth93432dI agree that the tech will "last at least 2 years mandated by government law" not that it will die exactly after 2 years.
if my tech actually dies after 2 years, I'm changing brands. There's plenty to chose from, including new repairable options like framework -
mostr4am7982dDid you see the Uber story where a family got bumped into by an uber driver and they cannot see because the daughter had an uber eat once?

devJs13252dMy Nintendo DS still works and I bought it in 2004.
Ok, changed/repaired some things like screen and bought a new battery, but it still works. Same with PSP. -
So Steam updated their eula the other day. It mentioned a specific change where all conflicts would be put to a court case and NOT into arbitration. I think this is interesting because a lot of eulas want arbitration.
I am not sure, but I thought I heard about a court case trying to force arbitration may have failed? I wonder if this is a response to that? -
@mostr4am did the case fail? Because Disney just tried this with a wrongful death and failed both in court and publicly. Tried to use a trial period of Disney+ as eula for this.
Your tech will power off forever after two years of warranty is over. You agreed to that, it was in terms and conditions.
