its renewable tech ie you throw it in the bin and buy a new one because they dont want you to fix it as you dont own it.

out of warranty any company can do a firmware update and brick the car from working same as apple do to the computers ipads only have 5 year software support.
This is incorrect e.g. iPad Mini 4 was released in September 2015 & is still receiving updates. Latest iPadOS 15.8.2 released March 5, 2024. That is 8.5 years.

How long does Apple support iPads?
On average, Apple provides software updates for 5–6 years. But every time the company launches a new operating system, it stops supporting some of the older models.

The latest operating system, iPadOS 17, is compatible with the iPad Pro (2nd Generation), iPad Air (3rd Generation), iPad (6th Generation), and iPad mini (5th Generation and newer).

When should you replace your iPad?
If you've had your iPad for a while but it works perfectly, hang on to it. But if your tablet's nearing the 5-year-or-older mark, watch out for these signs it may be time to replace it.

Just because you have cut & pasted an article that you found on the Internet doesn't make it true. Apple is still providing updates to iPads that are 8.5 years old. That is a fact.

Was surge profiteering using smart meters the plan all along? Glad I will never have a smart meter :cool:

Neighbourhoods would get extremely whiffy if water companies started charging extra for surge pooing, I can imagine that being their next profiteering gambit - they're all so much in hock these days, I wonder if they're angling to fail so they can get bailed out at taxpayer expense.

Was that a big surge poo? They'll quite rightly fine you for that in future you know. Please don't upload a photo.

I have some small share holdings and always vote against the remunerations of executhieves but if you read carefully it usually says the results are an advisory vote, meaning that it is non-binding. who`d a thought.
