I don’t think Microsoft realizes that this is not a positive for their brand.

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.

It's a positive for a nameless middle manager somewhere who can show their boss a graph with a line moving to the right and up with a title like "AI Adoption Across Platforms" and hit their bonus target.

if you work in a restauraunt, and decide salt is cheaper than sugar, and fill the bowls like that, someone will find out, like your manager.

telling your boss we are selling sugar, when its actually salt, is a good recipe for footgunning.

Makes me more and more glad that I never let my TV on any network and only use it as a display for Apple TV, the Blu-Ray player, and playing media from USB drives...

Same happy boat here. Mine has never seen the light of network access. I just don’t trust these things at all.

Accountability and responsibility are not so clear and large, insanely profitable, behemoths like Microsoft.
