Lensflare1693534dI 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. -
Hazarth943434dI 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 -
devJs132634dMy 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. -
Demolishun3439333dSo 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? -
Demolishun3439333d@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.

@mostr4am i don't get that. they can't press charges because they are client? does having a subscription pf a company product allows the company to kill their clients without any repercussions?

welcome to the future.
If you die en route in an uber thats also delivering food, then YOU ARE the food that uber eats is delivering now.
Your tech will power off forever after two years of warranty is over. You agreed to that, it was in terms and conditions.
