Idea: if a cloud-connected product is bricked within 7 years of purchase, the company responsible must make the code open-source and freely available in a public repository.
This would not only allow consumers to continue using the product they supposedly own, but will also cause investors and managers to pause before developing and marketing an exclusively cloud-based device. CPU and memory are good enough that most regular consumer devices shouldn't need an internet connection
