its none too good for LG either;

also: i think this sort of behaviour is exactly how you chill updates of any sort. it may take a while but when it is publicly salient that updates are sophies choice, and large pie slices of devices stay stock and unconnected, that will dry up that watering hole.

paranoia regarding un-updated devices will give way to paranoia regarding updates being used to screw you into something you would never consent to.

Next step is having cell modems in the TVs so you can’t stop updates and invading your privacy.

I've had this with Android updates.

When you remove my ability to see if a Bluetooth device is connected with a security update, why would I willingly install any more of your updates?

Which update are you referring to? I don't have this behavior on my Pixel, which updated itself yesterday.

Yes, I should have said "Samsung" rather than Android for that, however I stopped with the Pixels when my Pixel 3 (I think?) received an update which caused buzzing in the earpiece, and every "fix" didn't fix it.

Though I think the 3 received the buggiest updates of any phone ever.

It was the Samsung Android 15 update from earlier this year.
