Are there cases now where an update bricks devices that are still supported and the manufacturer doesn't fix it? Genuinely asking as I don't know of any such cases.
- overgard 5y agoI haven't had a device brick, but every time Windows 10 runs an update on my old macbook I usually have to revert it. Well, Windows reverts it itself; but it involves multiple reboots and I have to handhold it by holding down "alt" all the time so it goes into the right OS. Very annoying. Especially when I just need the OS for a quick thing and Microsoft has decided that I need to wait 30 minutes to use an OS I touch every couple months or so. I know the argument here would be "well keep your os up to date", but the point is that the updates themselves no longer work on this laptop for whatever reason; yet microsoft insists on breaking my laptop every tuesday for these "critical" fixes that I never really need.
