Why would someone want a replacement just because someone else tells them their hardware has reached end of life?
replyBecause there will be no more security updates of firmware, drivers, kernels, etc., all while there are monthly high/critical CVEs.
replyWhat prevents you from building an up-to-date Lineage version for old hardware? It isn't exactly difficult with Claude now.
replySomething which in the context of a thread about banking apps seems quite relevant too.
replyIf they banned all outdated roms why not but you can use all the banking apps on something not updated since 2019 if it's stamped by Google
replyI'm sure that will work for a while, but that doesn't solve the problem of that banking app sitting on an unpatched OS.
replyThat's the paradox going on here, by updating the OS to make it more secure, you lose access to the banking apps.
replyExactly. The User should decide when their device is "end of life" not the device manufacturer.
