Absolutely not. They should be patched and fixed.

So they get to ship a dangerous device that harms innocent third parties because they cut corners, but we’re supposed to reward them by doing the work to secure the devices they couldn’t be bothered with?

  • Patched and fixed by the manufacturer, was surely what GP was suggesting.

    Bricking the devices doesn't punish the supplier as much as it punishes the consumers.

    • Many of the companies that sold these devices have already bitten the dust, so they aren't even around to fix anything.
