@mcc THIS kind of #ReducedLifecycle should be outlawed!

I can understand when manufacturers want to #EoL a #device (tho espechally on #ChromeOS / #Chromebooks the excuse of "too old hardware" rarely flies), the fact that these are literally turned into #eWaste due to not being unlockable and thus refurbishable (just like any other laptop) is basically an asshole move against both owners (that would otherwise get some $ from refurbishers) and the envoirment!
