how many times does logitech specifically, and these companies in general, have to do this before idiots stop buying this shit?
There need to be strong regulations to prevent this sort of Ewaste. As long as companies can get away with this they will.
And no, voting with your pocket book isn't going to change their behavior.
if idiots stop buying this shit, they wont keep making it.
the problem is the idiots keep buying
That doesn't work. The amount of research people need to do to get enough information which product can currently just be shut down by the manufacturer is crazy....also it doesn't matter: the corps can just change the contract afterwards and you loose access to the features anyway...it needs regulations to stop this.
