The ideal fix is getting rid of junk by making it unattractive to sell
cheapo gadgets without long-term support.
Ways out would be:
- requiring all long-lived embedded things open source by law (although
the FCC seems to go opposite ways, not that it matters much)
- making sure companies selling embedded networked software sponsor
foundations and offer proper documentation such that such embedded
devices will be maintained for 15+ years
"15+ years" sounds ridiculous? My garbage "internet access device"
(phone & internet via DSL) that my phone/internet provider forces on me
(because they need not provide me with the VoIP password in Germany,
they can just embed it) is already 9+ years old. We've been discussing
this for a decade and things aren't really moving forward.
