A lot of electrical devices today have a switch of some kind to deactivate the device after a certain period of time. Sometimes the device just gets annoyingly slow. In any case, it is implemented in software on that device. And the reason for that is Planned Obsolescence. Forcing the user to throw away this device and buy a new one.
This comment thread is for people to document various implementations of this malicious feature.

News came to me via
Mastodon ( a Free / Libre Social Media platform ) that apparently
Australian government just banned Social Media to a certain demographic of people and the consensus is that it is apparently a good thing. Social Media tends to be very bad these days. Due to
enshitification and mass surveillance of platforms such as Facebook and
Ex-Twitter you can give a pretty solid argument why banning social media all together will make things better. But I fail to see nothing else but an expression of
age-discrimination in this ban, when not all people are banned, but only children.
