    hey i’m not against what you’re trying to accomplish, and wouldn’t be surprised if it happens in the EU. i was just pointing out that 5 years isn’t long and 13 years is a long time in terms of consumer electronics.

      You‘re correct and the fact that apple makes devices that go that long is astonishing. But it still has nothing to do with the fact that they are bricking devices actively.

      Btw, I have a laptop of the same age running perfectly fine on lubuntu. So its obvious which is better.

      Why do we see 13 years as a long time though? Because the corporations want us to. My laptop from 10 years ago still works perfectly fine.
