    Everything sold should have a standardised, recognisable, symbol/sticker on the front showing the minimum date that software support will be provided until.

      Nah. All companies should be required to provide updates for a minimum — say 5 years — and whenever they choose to EOL, they must open source everything related to the products feature-set. If you can’t do that, then you don’t deserve to compete, or waste humanities finite resources with your dead-end greedy planet-killing civilisation-ending narcissism.

      Planned obsolescence needs to be exterminated with extreme prejudice.
