Вступление:
Когда софт внезапно перестает работать без «обязательного обновления», это не баг — это архитектурное решение. Пользователь в такой модели перестает быть владельцем инструмента: контроль над версией, функциональностью и даже доступом к сервису остается у вендора. Под предлогами безопасности, унификации и развития продукта формируется зависимость, где отказ от апдейта равен отключению. Это и есть современная норма — программное обеспечение как услуга, а не как собственность.

It’s time to let my iPhone Mini go
Good night, sweet prince. | Photo: Vjeran Pavic / The Verge It's not the Mini, it's me. Nearly five years after it launched, the 13 Mini is still the best phone ever made. That hasn't changed; it's just that I changed. …
