Chromebooks are getting 10 years of automatic updates, plus new features to help devices last longer.

Good news. Might keep them out of the garbage dump for a little while longer.

Fantastic news, especially since my Chromebook EOL’d two months ago 😑

Luckily, I’m looking forward to converting it to Linux when it stops working properly.

Seems like mine got like 2-3 years more from what I remember. By that time I’ll probbaly be looking into something better.
