Interesting. The list of claims isn't loading here, but that is an interesting notice (especially with it loading sans JS). That's still hardware though. Has anyone been able to get it for software that was prematurely EOL'd? Android manufacturers? IoT crap (or is it still too early for that)?

Not that I know of. But we haven't have the equivalent of Samsung bricking all their new TV's here, yet alone that followed by someone making that mistake and then refusing to fix it.

In reality it will have to be something expensive before the ACCC steps in, a $100 router it unlikely to trigger their interest. My guess is IoT is safe until they are actually become dangerous.
