Sounds a lot like the “stop killing games” movement. As someone else mentioned, this stuff needs regulation forcing it to function as originally advertised for at least five to seven years.

Might be “standard” but it’s still stupid.

It would cut down on ewaste and planned obsolescence. I remember upgrading ram, video cards, and processors on many a Mac before they started soldering everything down. Got a lot of life out of my PowerPC and Intel Macs.

Remember when processors on Apple machines were upgradable, and not soldered to the logic board?
