I had a sumsung phone that did that. I specifically bought it because it allowed unlocking the bootloader. It auto updated in the middle of the night, removing the ability to unlock the bootloader.
I had a TCL phone that started bootlooping at 3AM after an automatic update. TCL wanted the cost of the phone to repair it.
I can't think of a realistic solution. The government could solve it, if they worked for people rather than rich fuckers. There's no way they'd regulate their donors to improve something for their constituency.
- chii 2y ago> It auto updated in the middle of the night lesson learnt - don't set anything to autoupdate. This includes browsers, OS, applications, phones or hardware. Update _after_ you investigated the update. Ideally, check that the update didn't cause problems by googling it, perhaps after a few months or even a year or two. If it aint broke, dont fix it.
- nosioptar 2y agoI didn't set it to auto update. Not only that, I always choose whatever options are available to prevent auto updates. Auto updates should be legally required to be opt in only.
