The Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) has launched an "Electronic Waste Graveyard," an interactive catalog of over 100 tech devices that have become obsolete once manufacturers discontinue support. From smartphones to kitchen gadgets, these items, including the short-lived Amazon Halo Rise and certain Chromebook models, pose risks to users who continue to rely on them without software updates. The initiative aims to raise awareness of the dangers of electronic waste as millions face challenges like Windows 10’s end of support, leaving many PCs vulnerable.
PIRG's new "Electronic Waste Graveyard" exposes over 100 tech devices rendered useless after manufacturers cease support, emphasizing the growing issue of electronic waste.
The collection includes various devices like laptops and smart gadgets, highlighting the risk of using outdated technology post-support.
The Amazon Halo Rise, a smart alarm clock, stopped functioning properly less than a year after launch due to service termination.
As Windows 10 nears its end of life, up to 400 million PCs may face security risks due to lack of updates.
