Google aren't updating their older tech, leaving security holes. Let's save the planet and replace our tech every year. Enough landfill and we'll raise land above the expected sea-level rise
One billion Android devices at risk of hacking

The problem really isn't Google - it's the phone manufacturers like Samsung etc.
They just drop support so they can sell the newer model.
Maybe the EU should legislate for a minimum support period. Oh, erm.

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..

No, not at all Rob.
The updates are available - it's the manufacturers that 'choose' not to implement/deploy
them...

Microsoft manage to do it. Google deliberately chose to create an eco system where manufacturers were in charge of updates.
