Every internet of shit, phone, tablet, and other sorts of device manufacturers should be required to push/post a root unlock firmware for their devices before they can stop supporting them. There's too goddamn much ewaste from everything already. If they're going to abandon their devices, at least make it easy for people to unlock them and do whatever else they want with them.

@JessTheUnstill should be required by law to do this within 90 days of end-of-life

@JessTheUnstill I am really surprised this is not codified into law yet.

@JessTheUnstill more like forcing them to deposit unlock keys at state (or similar) actors
and auto-releasing those keys after $time without update

quantumg@mastodon.au@JessTheUnstill if you were going to set up a foundation to enact this policy, what would you call it? Would you walk the sign-ups and logos path or the legislative path?

I would totally buy up 1st gen Alexa or whatever and root them. All I need them to do is run timers and tell me the weather anyways.

f4grx@chaos.social@JessTheUnstill no manufacturer will ever pay for that because they wont profit from it. And it would be shitty. I would be happy with full development docs instead.
