-**Planned obsolescence** is when a product is designed, either intentionally or conveniently, with an artificially shorter lifespan. It has become an increasing problem with remote software updates.
+'''Planned obsolescence''' is a form of maliscious product design that intentionally shortens the lifespan of a product, often in such a way that it fails soon after the legally mandated warranty period. In recent years, software and firmware updates have increasingly been used to augment planned obsolescence, for example by requiring replacement companents to be validated by a whitelist.
