Oof. Companies have gained the ability to push updates over the air to hardware a customer bought 5 years ago. Sounds great, now you can get bug fixes and new features, right? ... Or, you know, they can push a "redesign" that introduces tons of bugs and eliminates useful features! Existing customers are now plugged in to corporate dysfunction more than ever before!
