MacBook Air owner?2018/2019 models are losing #Apple support.https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/06/the-case-for-and-against-macos-15-sequoia-being-the-final-release-for-intel-macs/#OptGreen with #GNU/#Linux to keep your device in use! These machines will run beautifully for many years to come.Not only wallet friendly, #upcycling keeps CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere. Ca. 75% of Apple's emissions comes from production alone (details in alt text).Sustainable, independent #FreeSoftware: Better for users, best for the #environment.@kde#KDE #KDEEco #FOSS #OpenSource #MacBook

I may be completely wrong but don’t Samsung, Google etc. stop supporting OS updates on Android phones after 5-6 years?Apple have supported devices for 6-8 years AFAIK.

On the other hand, I can put an open OS on my Android and get security updates long after the manufacturer has abandoned it. Can’t do that with an iPhone. (But honestly, few Android devices make it easy, and none that I know of allow every little part of the system to be supported this way.)It’s about time we started legally requiring manufacturers to unlock our hardware when support ends, and release the driver specs ahead of time, so the open software community can take over support. The unending accumulation of e-waste due to nothing more than abandoned software is unforgivable.This goes hand-in-hand with the right to repair.
