Should OS makers, like Microsoft, be legally required to provide 15 years of security updates?

    I would prefer if they force the companies to unlock root and boot-loader, when they not ship security updates anymore for a device.

      Fuck it. Force them from release date. There’s no reason for them to dictate what you can and cannot run on the hardware you purchase. If they can’t compete by providing a better OS or software, and must rely on anti-competitive models to profit, then they don’t deserve to waste the planets resources.
