What this Tab covers
End-of-support and end-of-security-update dates for phones, laptops, tablets, TVs, routers, smart speakers and cars, major OS releases with known issues and what to wait for, forced updates that remove features or break accessories, extended security update programs and prices and firmware updates that fix serious flaws, with the device or platform first.
- Apple, Google Pixel, Samsung, Microsoft Windows, Chromebooks, Amazon Fire and Echo, Roku, LG and Samsung TVs, Sonos, Netgear, TP-Link, ASUS and Eero routers, Tesla and connected cars, Peloton, Garmin and Fitbit
- End-of-support and end-of-security-update dates
- Major OS releases with confirmed issues
- Forced updates that remove features or break accessories
- Extended security update programs
- Firmware fixes for exploited flaws
Why it matters
A phone that stops getting security patches is a risk the owner should know about the month it happens, and a $30 extended update program or a bad OS release to skip is worth the price of the membership several times a year.
Who it is for
- Anyone who owns a device older than three years, which is every household, and anyone with an elderly parent's iPad.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Wednesday 16:00 UTC. OS makers publish support schedules and release notes on weekdays and set end dates months out

One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.
Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Device End-of-Support & Update WatchTrack device software support. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: end-of-support and end-of-security-update announcements and dates for Apple, Google Pixel, Samsung, Microsoft Windows, Chromebooks, Amazon Fire and Echo, Roku, LG and Samsung TVs, Sonos, Netgear, TP-Link, ASUS and Eero routers, Tesla and connected cars, and Peloton, Garmin and Fitbit; major OS release notes with known issues, battery and compatibility problems reported by multiple established outlets; forced updates that remove features, end app support or break accessories; extended security update programs with prices and enrollment dates; and firmware updates that fix actively exploited flaws. Prefer manufacturer support pages, release notes, CISA advisories and established tech reporting; ignore rumors and single-user complaints. Put the device or platform first in the title with the date. Use high severity for a support end within 90 days for a device sold in the last 5 years, an update fixing an exploited flaw, or a release with widespread confirmed problems. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
