I hate how tech is in everything now. Everything is IOT. Everything can expire because of software abandonment.
You know how you have those 70 year old fridges that still work? I’m sure that new Samsung IOT one will have planned obsolescence after 20 years tops.
You know how we have classic cars? Thing of the past. Locked firmware and phone home capabilities will brick new cars for similar reasons when they become old.
Caring about tech issues seems more like a gen X/Millennial thing to me. Most of gen Z hasn’t figured out the problem yet; most older people just see a magic box. Obviously there’s exceptions at both ends.
Edit: And gen Alpha might be old people all over again in a different way. We’ll see.

20 years sounds incredibly optimistic for any Samsung appliance.
Heh, you’re off by an order of 10.
