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 is ambitious lol

My car’s radio busted last year. Instead of replacing it with a modern touchscreen, or paying $3000 for a manufacturer replacement, I’ve simply gone without it. Thing is, the radio includes the back-up camera screen. It also contains the controls to the car’s clock. So half the year the time is off by an hour, and I’ve gotten used to backing up my car “the old fashioned way.”

Thankfully, none of these are issues I can’t tolerate. But it does make me wonder what would’ve happened if I’d had a newer car. If so many functions can rely on a radio, how many more functions might somebody get screwed out of if this same issue were to happen in a newer vehicle?

20 years sounds incredibly optimistic for any Samsung appliance.

I'm sure that new Samsung IOT one will have planned obsolescence after 20 years tops.

Heh, you’re off by an order of 10.
