You buy one and find out that it's software is actually 2 years out of date (so much for being a "new" thing). You may or may not find that there's any updates available for it. You're quite likely to find that updates simply remove a (potentially) vulnerable feature (possibly one that you actually want), rather than fix it. Samsung do that trick with their phones. If enough people complain about their faulty software, they delete it instead of fix it. It's about the only way of de-bloating their shovelware. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.49.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 30 15:51:32 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
