Yeah no this is just incorrect. There's many cases where jailbreaking actually fixes issues when a vendor abandons the platform. It also enables usefulness for a product long after it's been EOL'd.
- hoherd 1mo agoIn the current season of LLM driven security research, this is even more important. There are a LOT of EOL devices sitting there unpatched, vulnerable to the growing number of vulnerabilities. We can either stick our heads in the sand, we can demand the ability to update the vulnerable software on the hardware we bought, or we can exploit the CVE ourselves (collectively, as a community) and introduce CFW for the vulnerable devices. The main thing I'm taking away from this LG thing is that I'm going to root my TV as quickly as I can with whatever CFW will get rid of this surveillance capitalism atrocity attached to the wall in my family room.
