I think that sounds reasonable. It's probably hard to put into law, but a system where abandoned tech becomes public domain is very much needed, especially for medical devices.

Medical equipment is already held to a higher standard, but maybe it needs to be taken further for scenarios like this. For example, if a company is no longer able to offer a reasonable level of support, they would be forced to make available the necessary assets to allow others to continue providing that support. Conversely, protections would need to be in place such that say a competitor doesn't try to cause another company to fail in order to gain access to what they had. Not going to be any easy solutions to this.

Which tech reviewer will buy and review one first, do you think?
The Wheel of Fortune is spinning...

Meta/Facespace don't have the balls to pull out. Idle threat.

Ooooooh no. How will us Europeans EVER recover from this travesty! Aaaaanyway...

Summary
Meta states in an SEC filing it is considering leaving Europe if it can no longer exchange data from European users with the United States, following the Schrems II decision.

My thoughts
This sounds like a threat that kids do where the threat in of it self actually achieve exactly what you want them to. 
 
I’m sure there are people in Europe that will be sad if this comes to frutuition.
 
I personally applaude FB and say they should stick to their principles 😄

These questions and more, so tune in next week for another exciting episode of MERGER BALL Z!!!!

I'm gonna be honest, I don't believe they ever intended to support 14. Why? They never kept signing it after 15 came out.
This is gonna be a bit of a lesson on how iOS versions work, or at least modern ones. I could do them all but that'd have no relevance.
Anyway.
When a build, or version, of iOS is released, it's a signed build. Let's take iOS 15.2.1 for example, their most recent public version.
iOS 15.2.1 is signed. You can download an IPSW of it and restore to it in iTunes, no questions asked.
What is an IPSW? They're Apple's iOS restoring files - they contain a dump of the root filesystem (also called rootFS), SEP firmware, and sometimes the baseband firmware. SEP is the Secure Enclave Processor, baseband is the modem firmware and only present in builds for iPhones or cellular-equipped iPads.
So we're looking at iOS 15.2.1 and we want to restore it to our iPhone - let's use an iPhone 7 (Global) as an example, or an iPhone9,1.
We go to ipsw.me, scroll down to iPhone 7 (Global), click it, and we're greeted with this:
The site neatly divides signed IPSWs from unsigned IPSWs. Currently, only iOS 15.2.1 is signed, so that is all that can be restored from iTunes. iOS 15.2 was unsigned 2 days ago, on the 19th, on December 20th, 2021, iOS 15.1 was unsigned, on November 11th, etc.
If we go all the way back to iOS 14.8, we can see that it was unsigned back on October 4th, 2021. This means that after October 4th, it was impossible to restore to iOS 14, at all (well there is saving blobs but the average user won't know of that).
 
There are two different forms of iOS updates. The OTA, or Over The Air update, is accessible via General -> Software Update in settings. It merely downloads the patch file for iOS - think of it like updating Windows 10 from 2004 to 21H1. It doesn't wipe your system, it simply updates OS files. That's what OTA updates do. They don't wipe your system, they update it.
iOS updates also come in the form of IPSWs, as shown above. These contain a rootFS image, SEP FW, and the optional baseband FW. Using this is not updating your iDevice. It completely wipes it and restores it to the image file, or IPSW file, that you provided it.
Every iOS update, as far as I know, has followed this pattern. You get an OTA update, and an IPSW.
 
Then Apple released iOS 14.8.1. Which had no IPSW file. It came in the form of just an OTA update. No IPSW meant no restore to 14.8.1, and while it did have a sizable OTA update size of 3.99GB (or 134MB if you were on 14.8 already), OTA update files are not able to be restored to. So while Apple did update iOS 14, they didn't allow restoring to it after October 4th.
 
If Apple truly meant to continue supporting iOS 14, why did they stop allowing restores to it? If you upgraded to 15 accidentally and wanted back to 14 after the 4th, too bad you're out of luck. Enjoy your time on 15!!!!
Sure, you can save blobs, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms. Here's a good explanation on it all.

Is it really the first? I have a nezha D1 sitting right next to me.
 
Most linux distros should work, the risc-v support is reasonable.

If this takes gains traction, they're basically supporting eWaste at a huge level. What happens if the motherboard dies? Or something else happens and you want to harvest components? Ridiculous. As much as I like Lenovo, I'd never support then again if they went down this route.

Metaverse VR expectations:

 
Reality:

All this stuff is dumb and it’s a reason Linux will never be mainstream, it’s too segmented apart and everyone has different views on how it should work. 
 
Hey, you want the ideal Linux software 
management experience? Use flatpaks, wait no use snaps, wait no use appimages, wait no just use the Ubuntu software center, wait no use kde discover, wait no use mx software because it’s all of those things, wait no just manually add repositories and install software from them, wait no just buy your copy of libreoffice on a CD off of eBay and install it like that.
 
Its dumb, it’s why I stopped using Linux as much as I used to, it’s delegated to the meme lenowovo dankpad sex220 at this point because I straight up don’t trust it’s inconsistent and nonstandardized software.
 
I don’t care what a developer for KDE says, primarily because the only good thing to come out of the kde projects is Krita and that’s only because it’s furry bait and it’s better than gimp, which is a pretty low bar.

Plasma looks like windows 11 except there’s still traces of 2007 hiding in there like rounded bump shapes in and on everything.


This whole Linux challenge they’re doing isn’t going to help Linux by showing weak points to developers, Linux developers have 2-3 brain cells to share between them, they’ll just argue that their system is better and you’re not using it right.
What it’s going to do is show off flaws in Linux to the general public and all the years and years of white lies on its ease of use go out the window.

Well hello there Firefox. 

no no that one isn't on the top 10 it's totaly safe, nobody can guess it
