Phones that don't have security updates

[Lämmchen]

Does your phone still do security updates? Mine is a Google Pixel 3 and it's been years since they last did a security update. My husband's phone stopped getting updates last fall.

So this is a thread where people talk about how they don’t care about security?

If that's how you choose to interpret it.

It may not be intentional, but a thread asking others if they haven't had security updates in years is either low key bragging, or trying to find confirmation that you're not the only one in the wrong so you can feel better about what you're doing.

The same could be said if someone made a thread asking whether or not others do something like not wearing deoderant, or using their turn signals. They're doing something wrong, but they'll either regret making the thread when people tell them they're in the wrong, or feel better when others go "oh, I also don't do that".

I have my phone set to upgrade automatically when there’s a new update out.

Or it could be a thread wondering why companies feel the need to drop perfectly good phones so they can keep making a buck?
