Google accused of breaking Chromebook update promise

Original: Google breaks promise to provide 10 years of updates to Chromebooks

Google is being accused of failing to honour its commitment to provide ten years of software updates for Chromebooks. Critics say the company has quietly walked back a promise made when it extended the automatic update window, leaving some devices with shorter support lifetimes than buyers were led to expect. The claim has reignited debate about hardware longevity, e-waste, and whether manufacturers should be held to software support pledges.

Why now: People are discussing it because it raises trust and consumer-rights concerns about Google's support commitments for devices already sold.
