minus-squarecron@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up36·2 年前This reminds me of how Google handled the stadia shutdown. Now many controllers have got a second life thanks to the option to enable bluetooth.
minus-squareDamage@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·2 年前Still a limited time window for you to update the firmware before they got bricked.

minus-squarecron@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 年前True. And communication was also not ideal.
minus-squareirotsoma@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 年前That will never work either. They’ll just transfer it to a subsidiary towards the end and then shut down the company. Then there’s no one to enforce the law on.

minus-squareTja@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·2 年前They also were pretty cool when shutting down stadia, full refunds and you keep the hardware.
minus-squareEdibleFriend@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·2 年前True. They absolutely have their faults but they do seem to be handling hardware shutdowns like this morally.
minus-squarepapertowels@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 年前Used my credit to buy my mom a new phone. Google did a solid in this case.
minus-squarewizzor@sopuli.xyzOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·2 年前I kind of understand that they can’t offer the cloud service forever - that’s OK, but I’d like there to be a local option then
minus-squaremonobot@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 年前I think they are selling hardware on reduced price so they can make money on cloud services. And by spying and selling customer data. The problem is that investors want to invest in data collection, not in making new hardware and service.
