> Any connected device NEEDS continual updates in order to continue to be secure.
And I feel that updates are being abused too much by device makers now:
-allows making devices worse, say "optimizing" the UI e.g. to make you spend more time in the parts they (not necessarily the user) want you to see
-allows releasing half-finished games since they can just be updated later anyway
-allows breaking old functionality for whatever reason
-allows the device makers to choose when to do the update rather than the user, say just when you want to start playing a game
It's a shame there's no less invasive way to ensure devices are secure. It sure is convenient for the device makers that the solution to security also gives them continuous control over your device's features and when you can actually use it
