There aren't easy or cheap solutions, but not doing anything is worse. Maybe we should make carriers fiscally responsible for identity breaches provably caused by out of date OS versions.

How would you force the update on the phone, constant prompting, and after so many prompts it's just forced?

I'd rather suck dog farts than have my rooted Samsung phone updated automatically and go back to stock bloatware that I can't rid of.

Exactly.

They used open source code, without including the license or info that they were using that code, in their bootable USB maker.

They accidentally violated the license agreement.

by what? not including the GPL text file? or by not publishing the source code?
