Really annoying when all some devices need is a new battery to keep performing the tasks you originally got them for. (I guess they assume you want the latest wiz-bang app)
And this ripples down. I have a GPS with LIFETIME UPDATES that you updated via computer app. The problem was , the App started popping messages that XP was no longer supported. When I finally replaced the computer, I found out that LIFETIME expired if I did not update within 'N' months (and this became a double

, because I just had replaced the battery)

I understand not adding features, but locking out usage.
