I would really like to see an EU law for manufacturers to make them only provide security updates and not also feature updates.
I’ve lost features on my phone and TV because an ‘update’ removed them or made them not work properly. Both Apple and Samsung have fucked over older phones I had by ‘updating’ it to a new version of the OS which runs slow as fuck and drains the battery in 3 hours. Microsoft keeps fucking with all their settings and menus, so you have to guess where everything will be that day. Not to mention randomly breaking stuff.
When I choose to buy a product, it’s because of all it’s specs and features, not only the hardware but also the software. The manufacturer shouldn’t be able to change any of that retrospectively. Also they should allow for the exact functionality to be preserved if they update the user agreement and you chose to not accept. Usually this just disables the device or some features. Once the product is sold, the agreement is done, I can’t change my part of the agreement (like the amount of money I paid), so they shouldn’t be able to anyways.
I don’t know why we let companies get away with all this BS nowadays. And don’t tell me free market bullshit, because all big companies pull that shit, the choice is an illusion.
