The legality of this update is also dubious in the EU as they are remotely crippling the device bought without any prior information, warning or way to go back.
Goodbye Samsung anyways, I've been with them since 2013 but it's time to go now.
It’s unlikely to be a problem legally unless it was an advertised feature.
I'm thinking about the PS3 Linux compatibility for example which definitely wasn't advertised and was mostly there for tax purposes.
Sony definitely advertised the capability, for example: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ps3-is-linux-supercomputer-cla... (first link I could find in a hurry, the lawsuit likely has better examples)
