      Of course software has bugs. Don't tell me that as if you just learned it. We've known this forever. That's why the set up is unacceptable.

      Point is this is all set up to repeatedly fail the users with ZERO repercussions ever for the company. Kids ambulances are being diverted.😡

      The whole "patch or be damned" system is broken. Every last bit of it. We wouldn't accept this in other industries. https://twitter.com/josephfcox/status/863062487268302848 …

      How many "patched" exploits need to run wild before the obvious is accepted? This isn't unsolvable. Just unsolvable on the cheap.

      That's not it. It requires resources they don't have. It's confusing. Some updates force you to give up on privacy. https://twitter.com/semihenergin/status/863096234596122624 …

      Folks, a lot to say about the NSA but the core here isn't about the NSA. The core story here is that patch or be damned is broken, broken.

      I mean, say what you want to say about the NSA or disclosure process. But this is one in which what's broken is the system by which we fix.

      Folks, about two thirds of ALL android phones in the US are lagging in patches. If those are the numbers, it means patching is broken.

          If an industry has regular, massive and overwhelming failures involving their product—which threaten lives—need to change how it all works.

          All the geek world telling me "they should have patched." I spend tons of time trying to get people to update. But that's not enough.

          No. Patching isn't broken. Vedors' patch release policies are - especially on Android.
